Switchable Button not work in 5.5

[Rcurreli]

Hello, in 5.5 branch (is the same importing the asset in 5.4 and update Unreal at 5.5) the controller navigation with the switchable button (the button with left and right arrows) is not working: there is the sound, but the selected option doesn't change, how can be fixed?

That is really weird, does it happen in the base project or after importing it into your own project in 5.5?

Can concur that this is not happening to me as well. I am on 5.5. It works on 5.4, but 5.5 its a no.

That is really weird... I don't see why it wouldn't work on 5.5
The project needs to be updated anyways, I know it, but I want tu update it with a C++ update (it will make the project more optimized and easy to work with)

Please can you do a temporary fix just to make it work?

Ok I looked into it and it seems like there is a bug with CommonUI in Unreal Engine 5.5, because we can't set custom navigation.

Normally the first two ones (Left and Right) are set to custom, but when I click on it, and select custom in the menu, it doesn't change...

Edit: On "primitive" widgets like the default slider, it works, but I can't change it anymore for custom widgets (which are used everywhere here...)

seems like a massive problem with Unreal, has this been reported on their bugtracker yet?

Hi, it is normal that i don t find this reply on github, but only in my mail? Il Ven 30 Gen 2026, 15:31 Adrian Chmielowiec ***@***.***> wrote: *Hi-Im-Ghost* left a comment (Adriwin06/Ultimate-CommonUI-Menu-System#29)

<#29 (comment)> I found a solution. In BPW_OptionSlider and others, you need to set explicit for left and right in navigation and select backgroundButton. image.png (view on web) <https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/65f611c6-88d2-4200-9876-3c60f5ad2f35> In backgroundButton, you need to connect the doCustomNavigation function for left and right in navigation. image.png (view on web) <https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fc728057-ae33-4267-b603-040bad291e65> — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#29 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AGHJJ36XMN4NX2BU26G4QLT4JNTLPAVCNFSM6AAAAAB3V6N3TSVHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHMZTQMRUGA3DSNRRGY> .

Anyway, thanks!
If really the bug is fixed, please @Adriwin06 can you see if works with Unreal 5.7 or at least make a branch ? My project is in 5.7 and I could help to test it !

I deleted this message from the thread because this fix only works in the editor. When I built the game, the problem still persisted. So if anyone knows of any other workarounds, please share.
