Bug#802947: dolphin-emu: Initially stuck controller axes, cleared by moving and restarting

[Ben Armstrong]

Package: dolphin-emu
Version: 5.0~rc33+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Upgrading from dolphin-emu 4.0.2 to 5.0, which I did to solve
other issues with 4.x. I'm happy with the upgrade except for this
one issue, for which I have a workaround.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

After configuring all controllers to work with the new evdev based
input, I started a game using a gamecube controller (SSB Brawl,
and also F-Zero Gamecube).

   * What was the outcome of this action?

All analog axes appeared to be stuck on the minimum value, causing
the game to scroll continuously through all menu items. Moving any
single analog axis and then restarting the game works around the
issue.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

All axes should be centered when you start a game.

Please see my bug filed upstream for details:
