Description
Fast typing of the direction keys and the A and B buttons fixes the direction keys in a specific direction. Pressing the same direction as the fixed direction resolves it, but typing the button in a quick succession causes the same thing to happen again.
There is a great inconvenience when playing an action game.
I've changed the input settings several times, but the same symptoms continue to occur.
I don't know the exact conditions of occurrence because it happens when i input a button quickly at random. And it happens regardless of the game platform. It happens the same on all cores: psp, gba, gbc, gb, md, etc. (The keyboard controller mapping option is off.)
A year or two ago, I gave up using the Magic Keyboard because of this bug. I recently reinstalled retroarch on my ipad and the problem didn't fix.
I've attached a video of this recording, so please check it out.
Thank you for your hard work.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on an iPad with a Magic Keyboard, using rapid direction-key and A/B input across the listed cores while recording the behavior. Done means direction input no longer becomes stuck and rapid button presses behave correctly; the attached videos provide the reported reference behavior.
