Description:
When using the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C controller with Hollow Knight on Fedora Linux (GNOME/Wayland), pressing the LT or RT buttons causes a "Remote Desktop" window (GNOME Allow Remote Access prompt) to appear. This issue occurs only in Hollow Knight and not with any other games.
Steps to Reproduce:
Connect the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C controller to a Fedora Linux system running GNOME/Wayland.
Launch Hollow Knight.
Press LT or RT on the controller.
The window appears unexpectedly.
Expected Behavior:
Pressing the LT/RT buttons on the controller should perform the intended in-game action (in this case, a "dash") without interruption.
Actual Behavior:
Pressing LT/RT causes the Allow Remote Desktop window to appear, interrupting gameplay and causing a potential disruption in the gaming experience.

System Information:
OS: Fedora Linux 42 (GNOME/Wayland)
GNOME Version: 48.4
Kernel Version: Linux 6.15.9-201.fc42.x86_64
8BitDo Ultimate 2C Controller Firmware Version: [if known, or "latest version"]
Game: Hollow Knight
XWayland Settings: Disabling Xtest via gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-disable-extension '["Xtest"]' did not resolve the issue.
Additional Information:
The issue is isolated to Hollow Knight; other games and applications do not exhibit the same behaviour with the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C controller.
Killing GNOME remote desktop serive has not resolved the issue (It just reappers).
Switching from Wayland to X11 may resolve the problem, but this workaround is not ideal.
Steps Taken to Resolve:
Checked GNOME Sharing and Remote Desktop settings, confirmed no active screen sharing.
Disabled Xtest extension in XWayland settings via gsettings.
Severity: Medium
The issue interrupts gameplay and causes unexpected behaviours, like the game not interpreting correctly when I press LT/RT.
