While I am not sure this is a bug or not, it can be a bit of trouble, so I am writing a report.

Setup

PC with an Xbox Wireless Controller (Model 1914) wired. Other configurations (controller on bluetooth, older revisions, third party gamepad etc.) could activate the same bug.

Steps below assumes Xbox Wireless Controller is used on a PC. "You" refers to the game character.

Steps to reproduce
  • Bind Quick Mount to A on gamepad.
  • Acquire a mount.
  • Construct a pylon network of at least two nodes.
  • Ensure that you are not mounted.
  • Stand in front of a pylon and press Menu.
  • Select another pylon on the map, then press A.
Expected action

You should be teleported to the destination. No other things should occur.

Actual action

In addition to being teleported, a mount is summoned.

Other things
  • I do not own the console version. Please verify if the same thing happens on Xbox/Playstation if you can.
 
see something similar to this all the time when using a weapon/tool that has an 'interact' button function.
like any summoning weapon, portal gun or weapons dropped from old ones army.
close the menu (when 'close menu' and 'interact' are the same keybind) the character will perform the alt function of the selected weapon/tool plus the interaction.
this isn't a new bug for ps4 however. it existed before the 1.4 update
