Bug Description

MouseOver events don't actually change the selector's index on list, which results in having two selectors when one is created from MouseOver and the other one from keyboard events.

Steps to reproduce:
- select an entry with your keyboard
- move your mouse so that the selector appears somewhere else
- try moving the selector with your keyboard again

Expected result:
- the selector moves from where it is visible currently

Current result:
- the selector stays in place while another shows up from where it was prior to mouse movement

That one is a tricky issue, and the "expected" result is not so obvious.
Your proposition means that mouseover events change the selected item in a list, which had never been the case before.
Another solution would be not to change the highlighted item when hovering with the mouse.
There are pros and cons for both of those solutions, but in any case the one we'll pick needs to be carefully thought of.

Actually that behavior is expected currently because the mouse-induced selector is visible and the keyboard-induced one is hidden. The keyboard one hides whenever a mouse one is invoked, but the mouse one does not hide when a keyboard one shows up again.

I think the keyboard one (actually selected) should not hide at all, the mouse one should hide even after a timeout with no mouse movement.

Selection/focus has to be unique at all times = never ever have two blue selectors at once.

I bumped into this issue as well. Especially its obvious when signing in to application using the keyboard.
I think the selection/focus should be displayed (off course only 1 and correct one). It make it much more user friendly, and this is moovidas goal right?

When signing, after you have finished typing username and password, click enter on the keyboard. it types the letter that was highlighted by default doesn't execute the Enter function.
