      Model: Pi 3 b+
      Power supply: 5.1V
      RetroPie v4.4
      Berrybooted
      Wired Xbox one controller connected (and HDMI..)
      Emulator: Only noticeable on GBA, probably because the others I tried don't use the triggers

      Prelude to the problem (probably related):
      Was mapping the buttons fine until I reached the left trigger, pressing the left trigger made the mapping UI skip some buttons, solved this by using the up and down arrows of a keyboard to navigate back to the missing commands and mapping the correct buttons.

      Current problem:
      Noticed it when trying to play Golden Sun on GBA, all the dialogue bubbles were being instantly auto-skipped, and entering in-game menus with tabs resulted in a constant tab switch fest, the only way to make this stop was to hold both triggers, upon releasing them the spam continued...

      Also, don't know if its related, but pressing buttons on the controller does nothing for like, a minute after entering a game on any emulator, can't even quit the game, after 1 minute passes the buttons work again.

      Thanks for reading, appreciate all the help I can get.

        @somguy You'll have to re-install the xpad driver from the RetroPie-Setup script. The behavior you're describing means you're using the default (Linux kernel) xpad driver, which maps the triggers to axes.
