Gamepad navigation on 3D widget Horizontal/Vertical Box not working

I have several widgets with horizontal or vertical boxes in them, that can be navigated fine when used as 2D widgets, but when they are childed to an overlay widget in a (3D) widget component, navigation between box slots is failing. Stepping through the code, I found out that the SWidget receives the navigation event but fails to find the neighbouring widget in HittestGrid. An example hierarchy of a non-working widget in the widget component would be like this:

[parent widget placed in a widget component]

  • Overlay

  • Size Box

[actual child widget from here]

  • Overlay

  • Border

  • Vertical Box

  • Button X, Button Y…

Navigation works fine when childing a scroll box below the vertical box, and then have the buttons within.

  • Vertical Box

  • Scroll Box

  • Buttons

=> works fine.

Hello Till Riemer,

I see that you mention having the issue in a 3D widget. Are you using a widget interaction component? If so, I have a few additional questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.

Quick questions:

  1. Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
  2. If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce this issue on our end?
  3. Could you provide screen shots of any settings/blueprints/widgets that may be involved?
