Manjaro dual-boot loops back to boot menu unless Enter is pressed

I’m having an issue with my Windows–Manjaro dual-boot setup. When I reach the boot menu and the Manjaro Linux option is selected, the system keeps looping back to the same boot menu screen if I don’t press Enter. This loop continues until I manually press Enter to proceed.

I’d like to know whether this behavior points to a problem with my system configuration (GRUB/UEFI/bootloader) or if it’s a known or common issue.

Sounds like a bug. I actually have the exact opposite problem, my counter does not start if i do not press enter. But i know how i triggered the bug, i installed a nonenglish keyboard layout for grub and respectively changed the GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT= in the grub config and this is what seems to trigger it in my case. Does not bother me much so i left it be.
