Summary	05396: "Select New Game" list capturing keyboard input while hidden
Description	If a game is already loaded and running, the "Select New Game" list will capture keystrokes even if the list is hidden.

The real question is, should TAB be allowed at all or maybe the new game selection be cancelled in the case of trying to excape the game selection?
