Multi-Functional Display, the one that opens by Tab key, seems to be intended to be used with buttons rather than mouse. It seems to be intentional so people who use their mouse for steering can still be in control of the vehicle while navigating the menu.

If you want to use mouse, press F1, the game will pause, and then you can use mouse to navigate tabs and find the menu that previously was opening by F4 hotkey.

What I am not seeing is any sort of feedback from the dev's in this regard, they created the 1.61 Exbeta version, folks have commented, but it seems no feedback, or how about trying this or that option...
I am still on the 1.61 Exbeta kind of hoping for some sort of update or "can you try this or that-which is better A or B option? Like when you go to the Specsavers and the optician says "which is better, 2 or 1??? You sit there and both are as good as each other, but you are thinking why 2???

It can take a while to collect all the feedback (mind you it's not just forum but all channels they can possibly watch), put it together into something comprehensible so they can work with it, and figure out next steps.
They've only just started ID'ing a second batch of bugs, so I'd assume there was a vacation period to let players check the features, and are now back to work.

Well there's the first .61 feature after the UI changes. Still a long way to go before it's available for testing I assume.
Unless...?

Who knows. For the last couple of updates the beta started very soon after the first blogs were released. Also they started the 1.61 blogs pretty soon again.
