I noticed this error in 1.19.50. When opening the inventory or any other menu like in chests or furnaces, the selected slot that appears is always the upper one.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the inventory (don't move the mouse, or else you won't notice the bug).
Look at the upper slot.
Observed Results:
The slot selected is the upper one.
Expected Results:
The slot selected is the one your mouse is in.

Just adding another photo, used my phone to show that the cursor is off to the side but first inventory slot is selected, deselects once the mouse starts moving but sure is distracting.

It also happens in android.
[media]Version: 1.19.60.26
Device: SM-A528N
Android version: 13

seems like it got fixed on 1.19.70.20

Bug is still present in 1.20.10 and sure is annoying!
If you click your mouse before moving it first, you'll pick a selected slot's item. It results in a lot of accidental helmet unequipping and unwanted items being picked from the containers.

Randomly lost max enchanted netherite helmet because of this.

Fixed ✔ , Not Fixed ❌ , Works as same a Java :info:

I always thought it was intentional, because of controllers.

Still affects 1.21.50.

I've noticed this bug after few hours of playing in 1.19.50.
[media][media]Opening inventory always highlights first slot (helmet slot in case of inventory) and shows tooltip in the location of your mouse, no matter where it is located.
Same happens with any interface like chests, hoppers, anvils, etc.
