Steps to reproduce:

Switch Joystick Visibility Option to Hidden Joystick or Hidden Joystick When Unused
Create/open a world
Go to Settings -> Controls -> Touch -> Customize controls
Move the joystick around to a different position (e. g. top left corner), press Done
Attempt to move around using a different position than the one you selected (e. g. bottom left corner)

Observed result:
You are able to use the joystick and move around regardless of where you positioned it while customizing controls.
