I have an issue where it’s like my Use Item key seems to get jammed. But it’s not actually jammed. It means I get stuck in loops using chests, crafting tables, cartography tables - any interactive block. Then if I’m holding interactive items like a stack of torches, it starts to place them and then it starts destroying stuff and it just unplayable. I loaded up the latest release and I didn’t have this problem. Going to try loading up the last snapshot but I think this game might get corrupted.

My controls were set to 'hold' initially and I thought that was the issue so I changed it to Toggle and the issue persisted.
Hi!
Could you upload a video showing this issue?
Could you also try reinstalling the game?
Could you let us know what device are you using? (Windows, MacOS or Linux) Also let us know if you have any custom key binds applied.

Toggle of use key turns on after interacting with a GUI (crafting table, chest, etc.). Exiting from UI requires multiple “ESC” presses, then return to game, at which point use key is toggled on.
I think I am having this same issue. Makes playing the game in this snapshot near impossible. Every time you interact with any interface block (chest, crafting table, etc.) the action key becomes “stuck” on and you can’t really get out of it. Escaping just reopens it, and if you manage to get the focus to move in the split second before that happens (which is hard) it’s like the key is stuck on as it starts placing tons of torches (in my off hand) on every block I face until I close or minimize the game and come back into it.
I had this same issue, which was resolved as a duplicate of this. However, this seems to be stuck on the creator responding, so the bug isn’t being fixed. I uploaded a video in my bug: MC-301287. Is that enough? I can also verify the bug still exists in 25w35a, which should also cover reinstalling. I’m using MacOS. For me the ESC never worked. I had modified “use” to be a key. Minecraft works as intended if the default binding for “use” is used.
By “ESC never worked”, I mean it never got the popped up UI dialog to release the focus, or maybe more precisely it just grabbed it right back.
I have also had the same problem and made report on MC-301599 . These all seem to be the same issue. Escaping from an interface block UI just seems to instantly reopen it (because the key gets stuck “on” and keeps clicking). I have managed to move the cursor rapidly while repeatedly hitting escape and get out of it, but then it just starts placing blocks (or torches) like crazy and activating doors or anything else your cursor passes over until you either quit or tab out and back.
Hi!
Could you please answer a few questions regarding this issue?
Could you check whether your control settings are set to “Toggle“?
You can find them in Settings → Controls → Attack/Destroy and Use Item/Place Block
If they are set to “Hold“ can you reproduce this issue by changing these settings?
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply. Thanks!
