Ammo sometime disappears when switching weapons

I've been playing Destiny 2 on Stadia now for a few weeks. And somewhat frequently run into a problem where when I equip a different weapon, the weapon I equip will have no ammo. A common flow for me: (1) Be using an auto rifle. Have full ammo. (2) Get a new sniper rifle (3) Want to compare it to the sniper rifle I already have, so open character screen (4) Equip old sniper rifle (5) Compare to new sniper rifle (6) Close character screen (7) Sniper rifle has no ammo! (8) Open character screen. Switch back to auto rifle (9) Auto rifle has no ammo! This doesn't happen to me every time, but does seem to happen to me every few times that I switch weapons (which I do fairly often to complete weapon-type bounties and quests). Its extremely annoying when this happens and I'm not playing with a fire team, as then I have to either rely on melee kills, or hope a public event is going on nearby where I can pick up ammo from other players kills. Anybody else getting this problem? And/or is there some trick to switching weapon types that would prevent this from happening? I never played Destiny before trying it out on Stadia, and starting on Stadia it seemed to just drop me in the middle of things, there was very minimal intro and gameplay guidance, so not sure if this is a game bug or perhaps just some aspect of gameplay regarding holding ammo that I don't understand.

  • Switching from a weapon that uses primary (white) ammo to one that uses special (green) ammo will always do this. Also, if you have no ammo in the slot when you change weapons, you'll still have no ammo in that slot. However, you can switch between two weapons that use special ammo or two that use heavy (purple) ammo and still retain some of the ammo at diminishing returns.
