			Kodi tries to detect these anomalous triggers. When a false detection occurs, the trigger or stick will appear stuck.

	Kodi tries to detect these anomalous triggers. However, sometimes a false positive occurs and an analog stick is detected as a stuck trigger. Kodi compensates for this, but now the analog stick becomes stuck!

			* Press each analog stick slowly
			* Then slowly rotate it 90 degrees
			* Press each trigger slowly

			If an analog stick gets stuck, unplug/replug the controller or restart Kodi. Then perform the above steps.

			This annoying bug is fixed in the stable Krypton nightly builds and will appear in the first 17.1 release candidate.

== Cause ==
Joystick drivers are notoriously bad at handling certain controllers. In particular, many triggers are "stuck" and appear as pressed when they are really unpressed.

Kodi tries to detect these anomalous triggers. However, sometimes a false positive occurs and an analog stick is detected as a stuck trigger. Kodi compensates for this, but now the analog stick becomes stuck!

To prevent this, when a controller is first seen, you should:

* Press an analog stick slowly
* Then slowly rotate it 90 degrees.

If an analog stick gets stuck, you will need to unplug/replug the controller, or restart Kodi. Then perform the above steps.
