Nice catch! Hopefully devs were already aware of this!
At that point, I feel bad for community managers and moderators, who have to deal with bug reports and rude people (including myself sometimes) without having much to say in return.
I don’t know if it’s a bug.
It has always been that this key (square on playstation) was used for more than just one action.
If you stand next to a destroyed machine for example and just want to reload your gun it could happen that you open the loot container of the machine AND reload your gun with a single action. And that works with doors, too.
Another example is the R3-button. It’s used for the flashlight in general. But if you’re in your homebase it is used for the buildmenu, too.
But by using the buildmenu you always automatically use your flashlight, too.
