In-Game: Gamepad mappings for hat directions using negative thumbstick axis components do not work

[offalynne]

What Is The Bug?

Gamepad mappings containing -[left/right][x/y]:h*, (hat direction on negative thumbstick axis components) such as Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons paired using Bluetooth, do not register input. Negative axis component means thumbstick left and up do not work, where right and down are OK.

Fixed in 2024.14.2 - possibly I am flying a bit blind here as I do not have a device where this is a problem (my Joycons do not give any data over bluetooth to my computers) - reporter is going to check once we have a red build that has the "fix" in it.

Value now rests at 0.5, still no left/up thumbstick input. Additional detail sent to Russel over DM
