If I set the deck to sleep and then wake it up with a Steam Controller, all input is doubled. I have not tested if this holds true for other controllers

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Set the Deck to sleep
  2. Have a Steam Controller connected to the Deck with its USB dongle
  3. Boot the controller so that it wakes up the Deck

Results:

All input is doubled

Expected:

Everything should work like normal

This is still an issue. You can get rid of the double input by pressing the Home button once.
