Description

[The following is a template to help you fill out a more informative
report]

Note:
Many games do not run yet, or have known problems. Please do not report
those games without giving any more information. That means reports like
"Game XYZ crashes" are not helpful. Instead try to include as much debug
information as possible. Also try to search the issue tracker for similar
bugs before creating a new issue.

--------------------------------------

  1. Game Name and ID (as it appears in right click > properties: "GZ2P01",
    "RSBE01", etc):
    Any

2) What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Wiimote is lost

3) Did the game ever work correctly (i.e. not have this problem) on an
earlier version of dolphin? Please specify the exact revision when the
problem began.
Don't really know but this issue has been there for a while until I decide to report it

4) What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.load any game with real wiimote
2.play a while then, leave the wiimote and do something else, leaving the emu running
3.after a while, wiimote is lost and won't connect back, you must relaunch the game, or load a state

5) What version of dolphin are you using (32bit/64bit along with the
version as it appears in the title bar, etc)?
On what operating system, drivers, and hardware? Be sure to list OS,
graphics driver information, and video card model if you are having
graphics problems, for example.
Dolphin 3 - 199
Win7 x64
6) Please provide any additional information below.
I don't quite remember if keeping the window active or not during the inactivity time does matter, I think the same happens in both situation though.
For instance, leave dolphin running while browsing the web for some time...

Press alt+ f5 to reconnect. The wiimote disconnects in the real hardware for energy saving reasons.

No, the wiimote is still connected, and wiimote settings are still ok, but it's still not seen in the game

Does pressing Alt + F5 reconnects it? The issue was that it disconnects and you can't reconnect it.

Also tick enable background input in case your window is inactive.

Ok, you're right, I was only "refreshing" using the wiimote panel and felt the wiimote rumble so I didn't look further. Sorry for the wrong report.
