Why is one (left up) of 8 hat positions not saved or loaded?

Question

For my joystick config assignments for all 8 hat positions are defined, but one of those (left up) is consistently not loaded (Windows 7). I have an old Saitek Cyborg 3D joystick. It seems to work on Linux, however. I suspect a problem in numbering: 0 to 7 or 1 to 8?

There's definitely something buggy about the Hat up + left assignment; it wasn't assigned on my X52 Pro (the other directions all were) when I first ran XP11.

The setting saved on mine though.

It's a long shot, but you might find that running your joystick through vJoy+UJR causes X-Plane to save the assignments; possibly a bug with unsupported joysticks.
