Comment:

 Hi @madeinua, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 As noted in the
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_list_table/current_action/
 documentation], `WP_List_Table::current_action()` returns the action
 selected from the Bulk Actions dropdown.

 I haven't found any instances in core where `$_REQUEST['action']` is an
 array. Do you have any examples that can be reproduced on a clean install,
 other than by directly editing the URL?

 If some plugin uses `$_REQUEST['action']` as an array for its own
 purposes, that sounds like a plugin issue, it should prefix the variable
 accordingly, e.g. `my_plugin_action`.
