Bug#764748: kobodeluxe: Joystick is impossible to use in menus

[Eric Duhamel]

Package: kobodeluxe
Version: 0.5.1-6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
	I started kobodl and tried to navigate the menus using a gamepad 
joystick. I tilted the joystick axis DOWN to scroll the highlighted menu 
item DOWN by ONE entry.

	The highlighted menu item scrolled DOWN by several items at once. 
It was impossible to select a particular menu item unless it happened to 
stop scrolling on that item.

	The highlighted menu item should scroll down to the NEXT item for 
each time the joystick axis is tilted down, and no further. I made some 
changes to the source and generated the following diff which seemed to 
alleviate the problem. My apologies if this is unusable since I've never 
generated a patch before.
