Controller Input May Not Work (Intermittent)

[thombruce]

I was testing the new menu interface with a controller. That works fine: directional buttons and left stick both navigate the menu options and the south button selects one (still need a 'back' button for closing the credits, but that's a good start).

When I started the game, ship was unresponsive to controller inputs.

Tested a second and third time, and everything worked fine... 🤔

I don't believe this is an error with the new menu input system - if it were, I believe the right trigger would still have thrusted the ship, since this isn't used in the UI inputs to my knowledge. But it could be a consequence of the UI input system... 🤷‍♂️ There are ways we can lock/disable the system when in the game state.

Conditions when the bug was observed:

• Computer just booted
• Controller just connected
• First boot of the game in dev mode

If I'm unable to replicate, this will be hard to debug; for now, we'll wait and see if there are more occurrences.
