Confirm that bug.
Please fix, it is really important that we can use EFB in VR!

EFB on the right side is too small for selecting options and in the separate window it is not clickable at all.

I can not finish lessons where I must use the timer for navigation (navlog) and had to switch between VR and 2D screen permanently - it’s not fun.

There is a similar bug related to the in flight menu causing the mouse to stop working. Toggling VR or ESC out ESC in seems to work in that case.

I am having the same issue. EFB too small in VR yet opening the EFB means you cant interact. Annoying!!

In some planes, like the C152 the EFB on a mount isn’t even an option, so in those planes, just no useable EFB at all in VR!
