Brief description of the issue:
When I use “Search by Input” under Control Options for my Logitech Flight Yoke System, the input field places [MODE] and the depressed switch, and the application then locks up. Additional switch inputs will be added in the field, and mouse movement will cause buttons to highlight, but none of the buttons appear to function. I have to quit and restart MSFS to continue.

Same thing happening with me with SU 9.

Yeah this is exactly what’s happening when I try and map my Logitech Throttle Quadrant. “Search by input” adds 4 different inputs after pressing only one of them and than locks up any ability to click anything. I have to force quit to get out of it. It’s extremely frustrating! Any update as to why this is happening?

EDIT: Just found that if I cycle my throttle axis it unlocks. Really strange. Search by input works after that. For now.

Same thing happened with me. However, I found a fix! Simply unplug one of your peripherals (I unplugged my joystick) and it resets all your peripherals at once, unfreezing the input menu!
