Emoting in Ewok Hunt locks the player's view in First-Person

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Battlefront 2
2. At the Main Menu, select Play and press the X button
3. At the Play Menu, select Multiplayer
4. At the Multiplayer Menu, select Operations
5. At the Operations Menu, select Ewok Hunt
6. When Ewok Hunt gameplay begins, and the player has been designated a Stormtrooper, press Left or Right on the D-Pad to use an Emote
EXPECTED: When the Emote completes, the player's view should remain in third-person
ACTUAL RESULT: When the Emote completes, the player's view has changed to first-person and cannot be changed back

NOTE: The player cannot change their view back to third-person by pressing Down on the D-Pad while in Ewok Hunt. The player must quit Ewok Hunt, load another gameplay mode, and change their view back to third-person once gameplay starts. However, if they return to Ewok Hunt after changing their view back to third-person in a different mode, they will remain in first-person view while playing as a Stormtrooper in Ewok Hunt. It is not possible to revert back to third-person view in Ewok Hunt.

    If you somehow manage to play Ewok Hunt as a Stormtrooper in Third Person, please teach me this glitch, it would make a great report around here.

    In Ewok Hunt you're forced to play in 1st Person while as a Stormtrooper by design. Emotes make you switch to 3rd Person just so you can see the emote being performed, and is something that can be done in any mode in the game.

    And as Ewoks you're locked to 3rd Person, pretty much like with any class besides the default 4 trooper classes.

    Huh, I could have sworn I was playing in third person the first time I played Ewok Hunt a couple of weeks ago... I always play the other modes in third person for aesthetic reasons. So then since my view was still in first-person when I went back to playing Co-Op, it must still be accepting the D-Pad inputs and changing the view for other modes, which would be another bug in and of itself. I will do some more research this weekend and file a new bug report accordingly.
