R2 is mapped to search AND to transfer inventory.
I forget what L2 did but it also had a conflict.
This also happens sometimes with crafting machines too, but less consistently. In machine sometimes it even pops up search when you press L1 or R1 (not R2)
Reported this the day the update went live or the day after lol

Yes this is very annoying. I reclaimed a beacon with a lot of inventory and It’s so painful to organize the items I’m 3 days into sorting it and maybe half done. I think I may wear out the controller before I get through this one 
Yeah, very, very annoying. I resorted to initiating the reclaim on my PS4 character and then pulling it empty using a PC one since it doesn’t have that issue even tho I play with a controller there too and it uses the same key mapping…
Also, this is basically a long standing bug ever since the search was added. Many a time when I switch from another tab to the recipe tab when in a machine view the PS4 text input thing pops up even tho I did not press R2 button…
Yup I get this too. It doesn’t always happen though. No idea what causes it.
L3 goes to category. I’ve noticed it since the first time I reclaimed. Lol quite aggravating
Oh when you enter the machine and for some reason it opens search without even doing something.
Yup! That one…
And with reclaim it’s the same thing really, even if I do not use R2 to move an entire stack at once it still happens…
Kinda weird! Perhaps this will be solved with the next update where they say they changed some input code, not sure if that also changes anything for the PS4 or not…
We will have a look into this and try and solve it. It may just become a case of the UI tips are fixed to show what you can actually press on this screen. 
Good to know actually shoved it down on faulty controller. No mater how much i crank up sensitivity on that thing it just has a broken R2. But that explains that it even happens when I interact without wacking around before and after interaction.
