X to remove items from hot bar is gone

I havent played minecraft in a couple of months and I went back to see what was new. When I got into my game and went to the creative menu I grabbed some items and started building. When I wanted to remove those items from my hot bar in the menu the button "x" was not removing the items. I had to hover over each one and press "y". Was this an accident to remove or was it just removed for some reason. I really liked the convenience of it and now it's gone. This is the way I dont want bedrock to be more like java by adding inconvenience. I'm not trying to be mean at all. I understand sometimes you have to remove things because the have bugs or you cant add things because of the different coding sources, java and C++
