I thought it was my controller so I tried another, same thing happend. The only thing that fixes it is to turn the controller off and then back on or open the xbox menu by pressing the menu button and closing the xbox menu thus returning to the game.
This only happened after the new patch. At first I thought it was the autosave kicking in like usual which is annoying when I'm using the menu but this was happening with all menus including containers at a near constant rate... irritating.
