Controller's Cancel (Circle) vs Keyboard Escape Key

[Nyaanyaa]

I tried to open a bug report for this, but it is obviously too much of a trivial concept to implement it right to be considered by SE and so it has been closed as not a bug.

Hello Michelasso,

I understand that you're angry. The way Cancel on your controller works is likely a design choice. Arguably not the best choice, and possibly they will consider changing it if they get enough feedback asking for it (at least give you an option to change it perhaps); however, it is not a bug because it is working as intended.
