Direct answer
Quick answer
Arrowhead confirms that operating the map with a controller while inside a vehicle may cause unintended Stim use. No official fix or control remap is published.
Field note
When does the issue occur?
The official line connects controller input, map operation, and being inside a vehicle. It does not cover every map use or keyboard input.
Field note
Is a workaround confirmed?
No. Avoiding map input in a vehicle, changing a binding, or leaving first are editorial risk reduction, not official fixes.
Field note
How to document it
Record platform, controller model, binding, vehicle, whether the map opened, whether a Stim was consumed, and whether the result repeats.
