A new patch for Baldur's Gate 3 has introduced a load of new features, improvements, and bug fixes for the acclaimed RPG, but it's also introduced a shared stash system that everybody hates so much that many are assuming it must be a bug.
Since Patch 3 landed last week, dismissing a companion from your party now sees any story items they were carrying automatically transfer into your avatar's inventory. This is an intended change. The patch notes (beware of spoilers at that link) include this detail: "When dismissing party members, story items (and characters they were dragging along in their inventory) will now properly transfer over to another party member."
What's probably not intended is that, in addition to story items, a dismissed companion's alchemy pouch, camp supply sack, and keychain will also transfer to your avatar's inventory, potentially leaving you crushed under the weight of a bunch of food, herbs, and keys. To borrow BG3's own terminology, it's safe to say that players disapprove.
