New description:

 Menu doesn't get selected under some specific circumstances.

  * open /boot
  * right click '''system''' folder
  * place cursor above the folder icon
  * start moving cursor horizontally to the right from the icon to letter
 '''m''' (as in syste'''m''')
  * without stopping continue cursor moving vertically down to '''Edit
 name''' menu item and leave it there

 [[Image(menu.png)]]

 At this point Edit name should be selected, but it didn't, like if it got
 stuck on the first menu item.
 Interestingly, if you move your cursor the same way from system to Mount
 (which has a submenu) it get selected.

 Probably it has something to do with diagonal mouse support
 #284/hrev24193.

 Maybe some ideas can be taken from this research:
