ISSUE
Issue highlighted here:
https://webmshare.com/raAoe Focus loss causes the gyro to not track
https://webmshare.com/z4yKb Alt-Tab causes the gyro to track as long as the game is on
Giving focus to something else than the game causes the gyro to be off-center if the controller was moved while the focus was elsewhere. In the video both times when the gyro axis goes to 0 and the focus is elsewhere I flip the controller 180° horizontally. This is specially bad with the fact that if I alt+tab out of the game the off-center property becomes permanent (that is the controller tracks gyro even when the game doesn't have focus) until I restart the game

OS
Xubuntu 17.10

CONTROLLER TYPES:
Steam Controller

CONNECTION TYPE:
Wireless

GAME:
Dolphin Emulator

CONFIG LINK:
steam://controllerconfig/dolphin/1280279190

STEPS
Launch a game through Dolphin with gyro enabled
Have the game lose window focus
Turn the controller around
Give focus back to the game
Alt-tab out of the game

RESULTS
Gyro is now permanently off center for that game session

EXPECTED
Not entirely sure. For starters alt-tab should not change how gyro tracking works. Quick fix would be to add a 'reset gyro rotation' binding.
