Runner automatically picking up items without a button press

Bungie Account Name - noahofdreams33#3643
Platform - Steam
Description of Issue - I've recently noticed my runner start to pick up items as soon as I hover over them, without a button press. I thought maybe it was an auto-loot setting, or a perk, or upgrade, but I can't find evidence that it is. It's inconsistent when it happens; one run I was only automatically picking up ammo crates, and then another I would pick up various consumables like grenades or shield patches. I've been seeing it in the Perimeter (beginner) location, though I haven't tried others. I switched from an xbox controller to a PS5 controller this morning due to stick drift, so I thought maybe something on my PS5 controller was stuck pressing square, but I didn't see any behavior that would indicate this (doors opening and closing when I'm too close, or the like.)
Rough Date and Time of issue 05-02-2026, approx. 12 PM to 1 PM CST.
Repro steps - Unknown; I don't think this was happening when I played the game yesterday. It just started today. I can't seem to find anything that triggers it or shuts it off.
LINKS: Two short videos below, though of course you can't see that I'm not pushing any buttons or triggers...I specifically tried to hover over items for several seconds before picking them up manually, so anything that gets picked up almost instantly is an example of the "auto pickup" I am seeing.

I am still half-convinced this is some intentional effect and I'm just too new to understand where it's coming from, in which case I would love to know where to look to find it.
