I've had this happen too, and not just in build mode. It will scroll very fast in world selection and the scrolling when looking though bookshelves or chest will also scroll too fast. Bookshelves and chests are the worst and do it more often. The cursor will jump between the chest and the inventory instead of scrolling down the storage container inventory.
Edit: The scrolling problem also occurs in the CAS.

@SimQARobo I managed to get a quick capture of the scrolling in my inventory. It's only 8 seconds but you can see the selection just bouncing all over the inventory instead of scrolling one item at a time. It happens very randomly. I get this speed scroll happening in the CAS, Build Mode, Inventories, World Selection; etc. Basically this happens randomly anywhere you can scroll through the menu items. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Z4KvGLeNlyeHuKGDHj7J2PwHAyHrlM7X

Never had the issue on the computer. Bought the game on ps4 yesterday ($7) and everything was fine for about an hour, then same as everyone here the scroll speed went nuts. You can barely touch the stick down and it jumps 4-5 spots if not more. Was luckily able to save but is a bit of a problem if it doesnt randomly fix itself.
