Upon entering my first created nether portal. it takes to me to the nether as expected. However, coming back through the same nether portal I came from will put me somewhere else somewhat far away while making a new nether portal that I never created.
After coming back to where I actually build my first nether portal, going in and out will do the same thing and put me in the middle of nowhere with the same nether portal that I did not create.
If I destroy the randomly created nether portal in the middle of nowhere, then go to my original first nether portal and then simply go in the nether and back out to the overworld, the game will soft-lock with the message,"Building terrain".
The only thing I can do is to press the home button, and close the game and restart it. Loading up the world again will spawn me at the same place but with no new nether portal. (In the middle of nowhere)
Repeating this will give the same result over and over again.
Additional Info:
**This happened in a survival world on hard difficulty in single player.Unfortunately, I have tried to reproduce this bug on other worlds, but I was only able to do it on this specific world, though it occurs consistently.
The video proof I attached showcases the soft-lock directly on the survival world I mentioned. (It was taken using the switch's capture feature which is limited to a 30 second video.)

Im just going to note any differences that happened to my world.
When I got stuck at "buliding terrain", I was able to exit using the switch's home menu and restart the world normally though it was somewhere else random and was not the correct location. Also, very rarely, it will create another portal and will fix the softlock though this portal is still in the wrong location.
I just tested this on my pure survival world and nothing happened. While nether portals are definitely broken, I havent ran into any other issues with the nether yet. (Nintendo Switch)
Are you sure?
Not too long ago, in my survival world, i got multiple enchantments from level 30.
Im also having this issue in the exact same way
