You need to set focus.

After 

m.theColumnList.visible=true
m.video.setFocus(false)
m.theColumnList.setFocus(true)

and then do the opposite when closing menu.

You should never use setfocus(FALSE) - because it is redundant.
When you set something with Setfocus(TRUE) the firmware automatically sets everything else's focus to false.

https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/ifSGNodeFocus
Even the SDK docs state
Setting the remote control focus to false is rarely necessary, and can lead to unexpected behavior.


Something should always have the focus at all times. Simply because you never want to miss an event.
