Hello Mojang,
The Classic Control is not working the same as before.
Circle (crosshair) is appearing everytime we touch the screen.
In older versions of Minecraft the circle only appeared when mining.
Now it appears everytime we tap/slide the screen.
This issue has been fixed for the new controls (but its still not fixed for the classic controls)
Expectation: Circle appearing only when mining.
Reality: Circle appears everytime we put our finger on the screen.
How to reproduce this:
Step 1: Open any world on a touch screen device.
Step 2: Turn off new controls or split control (if its turned on).
Step 3: Move/Rotate your head.
Step 4: You will see the circle everytime you touch the screen.
Edit: There should be a setting in Minecraft where the circle doesn’t appear unless tap and hold. I have a small Phone and the circle takes a lot of space on the screen.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Working as Intended.
The report you have submitted is working as intended: The feature works as intended, the circle is supposed to appear with each tap/stroke on the screen.
Please note, that mechanics of the game may change between updates.
Things such as graphics, sounds, world creation, biomes, redstone, villagers, and animals may not work the same in current versions.
