I'm running a 2-week old clean install of Mint 17.3. I installed Kodi and after running it, there is something really strange with the keyboard and mouse navigation. Trying to use the left arrow only cycles through Pictures (it skips Video etc). Pressing right produces the click sound, but it does not move to Videos etc.; it stays only on Pictures (whereas hitting left shows a visual cycle where the menu cycles left, but it only highlights and returns to Pictures). Pressing down will get me to Add-ons, and the Power and Favorites buttons. Pressing up will likewise do the same. There is no visible mouse cursor when moving the mouse, though moving it will allow me to highlight Videos and Music, though it seems that no matter how slowly I circle the mouse to find these menus blindly, it goes back to pictures (which makes me wonder if something is causing the menu to continually jump back to Pictures). Keyboard shortcuts (like O) work, pressing Escape works, etc.
I tried switching to a different keyboard (Logitech DiNovo Mini), and that had the same problem. It goes without saying that all these keys function fine outside of Kodi.
