editor is processing gamepad input

[adolson]

I found out that the Godot editor is processing gamepad input. Pushing some buttons on a gamepad may result in the focus moving around, and if you're not careful, changes made to your scene (including deletion of nodes, even the root node).

It seems to process joystick input even behind the scenes of a running project which is also processing joystick input. I'm using Linux.

Have you made sure that the joystick isn't getting mapped in xinput to a mouse or keyboard?

I'd try running xinput list to check

I had to install xinput.. I run that, and the output is the same with a gamepad unplugged or plugged in.

@reduz: I am wondering if this bug's cause has to do with the default InputAction mappings? If so, I think all the joystick stuff should be removed from there, at least for Godot build itself, if not for everything.

As end-users, we can always add them back in on a per-project basis, if that's the solution we choose for mapping gamepad input (I really don't recommend it, considering the wide difference in gamepad button and stick ids from model to model, and currently no built-in SDL2-like way of automatic standardized remapping).

Either way, it's a dangerous potential for lost work as it currently stands.

ok, fixed, for now joystick is disabled in editor
