Anybody recall a Lufthansa Airbus Aircraft with crossed controls (roll) on the First Officers' stick?

I remember reading about it some time ago in flight international, the wingtip got within 3ft of the ground. it had just come out of maintenance, and the guy who did the checks on that position only checked for full deflection, not full deflection IN THE CORRECT SENSE.

They changed the connectors on the FBW controls after that, so you can't physically plug in the controls the wrong way round...
