Description
After setting Joystick to SpaceMouse Wireless (when connected by USB) or 3Dconnexion Universal Receiver (for wireless) in Preferences and relogging, Joystick option reverts to None or 3Dconnexion KJM Emulator upon relog.
Expected Behavior: Restarting the viewer will remain as the option in the Joystick dropdown menu from the previous session.
Version: Second Life Release 7.1.8.9375512768 (64bit)
This problem was not present in Firestorm until their PBR update, which leads me to suspect it is something in the source code they used for that update.
