Playing Metroid Prime on GC, you have two functions for the L-trigger: the first will lock onto enemies (and scan them if the scan visor is enabled) and allow you to circle-strafe around them. This function works fine on Dolphin. The second function allows you to strafe without any enemies nearby. This is what's not working. It seems like it will only work sometimes, and I can't figure out what the conditions are for it to work. I'm using an official Xbox 360 controller, and I tied the strafe function (L-Analog) to the L-shoulder button (separate from the lock on function, which is still tied to L-shoulder), and that works. Binding both two the L-shoulder makes only enemy lock ons work, and strafing NEVER work. This leads me to believe that it's an issue with combining the "L" and "L-Analog" functions into one button.

I'm using Dolphin 5.0, and after doing some cursory research, it seems this problem was an issue in the past, but not on some versions of Dolphin.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with an intel i5-3470 CPU and a GTX 1070 GPU (full system information in screenshots).

This is the controller config where strafing only works sometimes (both binded to L-trigger): https://i.imgur.com/I6clZsB.png
