Describe the bug
I use two overlay applications, OVR Advanced Settigns and openvr-widgets. Whichever of those two tools I launch first, that one works just fine. The second overlay application I start will not receive inputs though (OVR AS is mainly receiving double presses on the A buttons, while openvr-widgets received double tap on grip and single click on trigger button).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start OVR-AS
  2. Start openwr-widgets
  3. Try to trigger openwr-widgets overlay with double-tap on right grip.
  4. Nothings happens

Expected behavior
The openvr-widgets overlay should appear.

Additional context
I already noticed this bug a few months back in the beta branch. I thought it was just a bug with in the beta which would eventually be fixed, so I switched to the stable branch. Since the SteamVR 1.17 stable update, I now experience this issue on the stable branch.

I didn't note down back then on which exact version this bug was introduced. I'm wondering if there's some way I can roll SteamVR back to version 16 for now?
