Detail steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
In the Control Options, for a previously configured device with buttons assigned to a function such as raise or lower flaps or toggle parking brakes. Pressing the button no longer gives indication that the button has been pressed whereas prior to SU5 it did.

I can’t believe this doesn’t have more votes! Is this a duplicate? Not having visual feedback in the control settings screen makes it very very difficult to learn/check your control assignments. The only way to know for sure that a certain button or switch is controlling a certain action is to re-assign it! I have never said this before in the entire history of MSFS 2020, but “this must be fixed!”.
I have the same problem since SU5 update, even after most recent update and hotfixes. It is frustrating to figure out which function is assigned to which buttons or controls.
Sorry guys, I may have gotten a couple of issues mixed up, and its been a while…
My recollection was that I wasn’t able to use the "search by input "- (click in the search input box, then press a control to see what it is mapped to). This is what I checked last night, and I am certain this wasn’t working after SU5, hence I thought the issue was fixed.
Sorry for any confusion.

Go to control options, press a keybind that is listed on the screen. It used to highlight to show activation, no longer does.
I submitted a ticket regarding this issue back in September. The status of the ticket said “Solved” the instant after I submitted it. But it’s definitely NOT “solved” - at least not on my end of things! Maybe “Ignored” would be a more accurate word?
Nope, 6 months on from when I first posted this it still hasn’t been fixed. Asobo have been to busy adding other stuff rather than fixing things that they have broken in the process.
Given the usefulness of this utility I am amazed there is not a wider body of protest at the lack of a fix. Makes me wonder if there is a fix which for some reason has passed us by. I have opened another ticket on Zendesk more in hope than expectation!
Well - here is the definitive answer from Zendesk:
"Doing a clean install will not fix this issue because there is no workaround for this bug. This is how it’s currently working. The only thing you can do is wait for a patch in the future. "
Given the lack of user pressure I don’t see this bug being addressed anytime soon!
