Bug - Longsword Models Improperly Held In Combat

I've noticed that no matter which longsword I use, my sword and board (sword and shield) character starts to hold it incorrectly in combat. Instead of holding the sword by its handle, the character holds the sword by the blade, just over the hilt. I find it distracting in an absurd way. Maybe you feel the same. This issue only seems to happen when the character is engaged in combat. I suspect that this will happen in cutscenes with swords present too, but I haven't gotten there yet in my current re-run so cannot yet confirm.
