Player does not move using WASD, mouse is very fast and spins pointing directly up or down

Issue type

• Bug report

Minetest version

0.4.17.1

OS / Hardware

Operating system: debian:stretch
CPU:Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz

Summary

These keys do move (they do nothing): W, A, S, D | Move

The mouse look around is very very fast and mostly just spinns on the floor or sky. It is really impossible to use but it can look around, it feels like there are only 2 pixles worth of mouse movement to work with though.

Steps to reproduce

Just enter any game.

Change your mouse sensitivity setting (GUI requested in #6730 ), is a duplicate of #7343.
In my case the setting was way too low, increased it to 0.75.

What exactly is the issue with the keys? The player moves but you don't press anything? Unplug the joystick.

Player does not move at all using W, A, S, or D

Do you use Wayland? What about Wayland X etc?

Interesting, other keys are working so I did not really think about this being a factor ..

Looks like x11docker is using xpra:

x11docker: Xpra server command:
  xpra start :110 --use-display  --webcam=no --start-via-proxy=no -z0 --no-speaker --no-pulseaudio --daemon=no --fake-xinerama=no --notifications=no --file-transfer=off --printing=no --html=off --systemd-run=no --mdns=no --dpi 96 --clipboard

x11docker: Xpra client command:
  xpra attach :110  --webcam=no --start-via-proxy=no -z0 --no-speaker --no-pulseaudio --daemon=no --fake-xinerama=no --notifications=no --file-transfer=off --printing=no --html=off --systemd-run=no --mdns=no --dpi 96 --clipboard --window-close=shutdown

I had some success changing to xephyr .. I'll provide more files if your interested in re-creating this in Docker..

This has happened before to some players, try searching the issues, it's caused by your setup or hardware, or by having a controller or joystick plugged in. It's probably not a MT bug.

I had some success

Can we close the issue?

This sounds similar to mouse input issues occurring when playing Minetest in VirtualBox with mouse integration enabled (which can be worked around by disabling mouse integration). I don't think much can be done on our side.
