Description Jack 2020-02-18 00:47:58 UTC
SUMMARY
I've started navigating through the start menu with the arrow keys trying to find a program which isn't available in search and the menu goes gray or into some form of timeout after a few seconds of mouse inactivity. This probably shouldn't occur if I'm still navigating with the keys.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the kickoff/start menu.
2. Navigate around using keys for a bit (+10sec).
3. Observe menu go gray.

OBSERVED RESULT
Menu goes gray as if it's inactive or timed out.

EXPECTED RESULT
When navigating with keys this should reset whatever activity timer the gray/timeout is using so I can still see the menu at the same brightness.
