Gamepad "submit" not working correctly in UI

Unity Engine

I am using the new input system to have easy mixed input support.
I am also using the current UI system , UGUI I think. Not ready to rebuild and /or test the new CSS one yet.

The issue that I am having, is that all controls that have been set up for the new input system are working with Mouse, Virtual Mouse ( an analogue gamepad joystick mouse ) and keyboard controls. However, the Gamepad controls don’t seem to send all the calls.
Namely this:

    public void OpenTopMenu()
    {

        TopNavUI.SetActive(true);
        EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(null);
        EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(firstMenuOption);
    }

Any selection that calls this works if directly called. But if it is a button that you select with the Gamepad, it never sets the “first selected item”.
Yet the virtual mouse, normal mouse and keyboard select do set the “first selected item”.
I have set up the InputSystemUIInputModule using the template from the ThirdPersonController asset as well as my actionMaps with Actions. So should be correct.

================
Other possible bug that I have is

On the 2D vector for the “Move” Action, the keyboard down arrow does not move the character down, yet the left arrow will move diagonally down and left.

I stumbled across another post that lead me to a solution to the first main issue.
It was to switch UPDATE MODE to: PROCESS EVENTS IN DYNAMIC UPDATE in the project settings under “Input System Package”. This seems to have fixed the selecting “first selected” option.

I still have the other issue though. A BUG ?!?!
