Quick leave = lost joystick

Apr 20, 2003 Turmoyl link
If I leave the station in sector 13 very quickly after loading cargo my screen flashes twice then renders, but I've lost my joystick.

I couldn't reproduce this at the stations in 7,5,9,4 or 1.

When this happens the joystick still shows in the settings panel, and unselecting keyboard/joystick then reselecting it makes no impact. Scanning or adjusting a joystick setting and applying it makes no impact. Changing sectors and/or docking at various stations makes no impact.

During this time mouselook can be toggled on/off and the keyboard still functions correctly.

I log out and run "jstest /dev/js0", and everything reports fine.

I log back into Vendetta and I have control of the joystick back again.
