[Ohrrpgce] [ohrrpgce/ohrrpgce] waitforkeyrelease broken on some Linux boxes under unknown conditions (Issue #1245)

[Ralph Versteegen]

Hah, that's amusingly dumb. That's a decent solution, but also a timeout would be reasonable; `waitforkeyrelease` was only intended to wait a couple ticks anyway.

`waitforkeyrelease` waits for a joystick analog stick exactly when it would register as a keypress in-game; it calls `anykeypressed` which calls `keyval`.

Stuck joystick buttons seem to be a very common problem. This must be at least the 3rd or 4th time I've heard of someone being confused by a depressed button on a gamepad that's plugged in but not in use. And my own PS1 controller has a permanently stuck thumbstick button when I turn on analog mode. Maybe we should automatically detect and ignore stuck buttons?

Plus also checking joystick buttons in Custom seems to cause a lot of problems because of reasons like this, so as I said before it's safer to just disable it by default.
