New glitch, weapon won't stay sheathed?

Has anyone else noticed lately that their weapon won't stay sheathed after the latest patches? I just noticed it after the last patch on my pet sorc. She is *constantly* drawing her weapon, even if no one else is around and the pets are dismissed. I sheath her staff and two seconds later it's back out, even out of combat in cities and towns. So either something has changed or she has developed some real paranoia issues since I last played her.

It's a minor thing, granted. But even as a very mild RPer like me, it's a little annoying to have your character running around in towns and villages with her weapon constantly drawn. I'm pretty sure guards and merchants wouldn't be cool with someone doing that IRL.

    What platform are you on?

    I'm on PC and haven't enountered this at all. I usually sheathe my weapons when I'm not using them, and the only time they unsheathe without my permission is the usual in-town skill spam.
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    If you're running addons, those can be attributed to it as well.

    I have that problem when I use the Wayshrines or exit the Refuge's. I make sure it sheathed before I exit (use the shrine) and when the loading screen clears my staff/bow/ what have you is drawn.

    It's happening with my warden, but not my other characters. She draws her weapon every time the scene changes (goes through a wayshrine, goes through a door, etc.). So yeah, mine is doing that, too.

    Every zoning with my baby warden her weapon was out. It got to the point where I didn't want to zone anywhere.

    Looks like it's a pet glitch. Been thinking of respeccing my pet sorc to regular sorc. This might be a good reason. Sucks for Wardens, though.

    I have noticed this too, and not just on my Warden. But she, my Sorcerer, will be standing there and then pull out her weapon for no reason. No buff skill is being activated as per the usual reason why this happens.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Yup happened to me. I assumed someone cast a healing or buffing spell and my character was affected by it. But there were still times that my char was alone and suddenly unsheathed his weapon.

    Didn't notice this before the expansion, so could be a bug?

    That's what I was thinking, too, since people are saying it's happening with both wardens and sorcerors.

    It's been happening to me lately. It only happens when I have my Daedric familiar active. I'm glad to see this is not just me and it is happening to others. I hope they will roll back this change and stop making this happen.

    All toggle buffs are now recast when entering a new area.

    So if you've got bound armour on when you load a new area you'll auto recast it, which will unsheathe your weapons.

    So, that's what that is! I thought I was constantly hitting the button to sheathe/unsheathe. Yay, our pets stay up...booooo our weapons stay out.

    I have had the same problem, but only with my warden. Go through a door or use a wayshrine, out pops my weapon. When I log in it takes like a minute to sheathed it. Very annoying.

    Happens to me too. After a loading screen or a wayshrine, my character would unsheath their weapon :/

    I thought this is related to using non-wired USB mouse, at least it doesn't happen when using the wired one. ;)

    Its the same with trying to pick locks - wired mouse = no problem; un-wired mouse = clunky and unreliable.

    Changing batteries sometimes helps for a little time.

    This, on my stamblade and magblade so no pets. Doesn't really bother me much though. Usually I mount up right after using a wayshrine anyway.
