If I select an entry (with left mouse button) on a list and later change selection using arrow keys, pressing ENTER(RETURN) key makes current selection jump to manually selected position (entry previously selected by left mouse button)

Steps to reproduce:

1. From main menu select PLAY ==> SCENARIOS
2. Click LEFT MOUSE BUTTON on TEAM PRODUCTION
3. Use UP ARROW key to move selection to PVP
4. Press ENTER(RETURN)
5. Observable behaviour: Selection goes back (after noticeable delay) to TEAM PRODUCTION
6. Expected behaviour: Pressing ENTER(RETURN) key is an equivalent to pressing CONFIRM button.

I can reproduce the same behaviour in campaign selection list.
On the other hand load/save menu, multiplayer browser, mods and replay menu works as expected - ENTER confirms selection.

Thanks for the report. When we re-work those GUIs in the future we may change how the keyboard interacts with them. In general keyboard navigation/interaction with GUIs is not something we "support". If it happens to work, or if the person who implemented a specific GUI made it work - that's fine. But it isn't a mandate that it works for all GUIs and as you can see it by default doesn't work in most GUIs.
