Steps:
1. Select "Controller" as control method
2. Select "Use pet hotbar" checkbox in Character Configuration > Hotbar Settings > Cross options
3. Deselect "Pet Hotbar Display" checkbox in Character Configuration > Hotbar Settings > Display > Horizontal type options
4. The "Pet hotbar" will not appear anymore, but for the following situations, both the XHB and Hotbar will be displayed on screen at the same time:
(a) when you pick up an object to carry (e.g: some Beast Tribe quests)
(b) when you activate weapon objects ("Berta" cannons in Stone Vigil Hard Mode during the 2nd boss)
(c) When using Magiteck emotes (cannons and machine guns).

For the above actions, user will always have another "pet bar" in the middle of the screen, which is quite annoying as the icons in the XHB are enough.

I found this was mentioned in the past but was deemed as "Not A Bug" (last post in this thread):

If this is a case then I would ask to reconsider changing how this works as it doesn't look very polished from a UID perspective.
