Quest 3 seemingly "random" recentering with palm up gesture
Just doing a sanity check here to see if other developers are experiencing any issues with the oculus doing weird things recently in regard to using hand interactions and the Meta reorientation butto...

I've been noticing the very same since somewhere getting v.64, but mostly in another form. What happened is that Meta basically completely killed the standby timers, as soon as I take my headset off or just rest it on my forehead, the screens go dark in a heartbeat, completely ignoring my settings. Then, and this is where I found this thread, after it turning on again, it will immediately conduct a recenter as soon as I either do that hand gesture if the controllers are disconnected again (which often is the case), or as I simply just press the Oculus/Meta button on the right controller to pop up the menu. No long press, just a simple click. Once that has happened, it's good for as long as the displays are on and after switching off, it's rinse & repeat. I used to be able to leave Virtual Desktop open and have it perfectly oriented for seated usage and could take off the headset, leaving the app running and continue at a later point and it would be oriented as it was before. Since v.64 I have to recenter constantly, which is very annoying actually.
Also, ever since v.76, that has even gotten worse, because a new issue arose, which is simply put: Whenever I switch between VR and Desktop mode in Virtual Desktop, the Quest 3 recenters (haven't tried with my Q2 yet, it's still on v.74, any my Q1, obviously, is on v.50). Which is just outrageous especially when being in PCVR games and I need to look something up in a browser, because everytime I do that, I have to recenter again. The Meta button long press has literally become the most used action on my controllers since... (I'm doing a lot of VR simming where they aren't even supported and I also use the Q3+VD as a big screen every day)
This absolutely NEEDS to be addressed ASAP! Would be such a better experience without those shenanigans...
