Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
- I have searched the existing issues
Description
Navigating to the History tab disables input from the Right Stick, which can normally be used to navigate the menu like the Left Stick and D-Pad.
Tested with Steam Deck and 2nd gen. Steam Controller, both have this issue.
Expected behavior
The History tab would accept navigation input from the Right Stick, just like the other menus.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Set the UI to XMB
- Connect a controller
- Navigate around the menus with the Right Stick until you reach the History menu

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the XMB History tab on SteamOS with a controller, comparing right-stick navigation there with the other menus. Trace the existing menu input handling from that behavior; done means the Right Stick navigates History in the same way as the Left Stick and D-pad.
