      Description of problem:
      I'm doing a headless installation of Fedora 43 Beta 1.3.
      (My target machine is set for boot from PXE and from the PXE host I can determine how this machine proceeds: boot from local disk, installation, etc)

      During the graphical installation process via RDP various options are presented, some of them are indicated with a pulldown menu (a downward pointing triangle).
      One example is:
      Network & Host Name
      Ethernet (en01)
      Configure...
      IPv6
      Method Automatic <-- no way to change this, like "ignore"
      Later in the selection process I discovered by accident that that the alternatives could be selected by tabbing so that the focus was over the pulldown selection, then using the up-arrow or down-arrow keys.

      This tells me the underlying options are present, it is just the graphical mouse click over a pulldown menu is not responding.

      F43 has switched from VNC (which I used for F40) to RDP, and this issue may be related to that.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-43_Beta-1.3.iso

      How reproducible:
      Always

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Set up a PXE server to network install F43 Beta with RDP.
      2. Boot the target machine using PXE for network install.
      3. Connect via RDP
      4. Attempt various selections available from pulldown menus.

      Actual results:
      Cannot select options from pulldown menus using mouse.

      Expected results:
      Can select options from pulldown menus using mouse.

      Additional info:
      Can select options using keyboard only.
