Description Jack 2020-02-18 01:01:58 UTC
SUMMARY
When navigating through the application menu and submenus if I enter a submenu and go back (left) then the selected item is the top entry always, I would expect the item to be selected to be the item that I had entered from. I.e.
Item1 -> Item1-1, 1-2, 1-3
Item2 -> Item2-1, 2-2
Item3 -> Item3-1, 3-2, 3-3
If I enter the Item2 menu and then go back, the selected item will be #1.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kickoff and navigate through the menu to the second or third item in the list.
2. Enter that second or third item and then hit back to go back to the top level item.
3. Observe that the first item is selected.

OBSERVED RESULT
When returning the first item is always selected.

EXPECTED RESULT
The previously selected item should be selected i.e. enter off item2 -> item2 selected.

This was fixed in 5.17 IIRC.
