Hi
When I first load up Attract Mode I can control the menu in the normal way using my keyboard. After clicking to launch a game (Retroarch) and exiting (esc key) I return to Attract Mode but I am unable to move the menu. AM hasn't crashed but it just won't accept input from the keyboard.
Strangely, I did find that plugging in a USB controller allowed some control back and after setting that up against the keyboard control mapping I am able to now exit properly (or start a new game).
I can't post logs because there isn't any errors.
Using
startx attractDebian 9.4 (no desktop environment installed)

Here's the last log (in it's entirety) but as you can see, nothing here to report:

Read through all bugs relating to this but couldn't find anything except these
https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/199https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/244But both relate to focus issues were as I think my issue seems to be that gremlins go pulling wires inside my keyboard (I've tried other keyboards too but I must have a family of gremlins in each)
My video explanation
