Stack Splitting Bug on Android – Touch Conflicts with Left Item Categories in Inventory

In Minecraft Bedrock on Android, there is a problem with the touch-based stack splitting system.

When a player long-presses an item in their inventory and drags to the left to choose a custom quantity (using the new slider), if their finger ends up over the left-side item category tabs (like Nature, Tools, Combat), then releasing the finger doesn’t confirm the stack size. Instead, it triggers a category change.

Expected behavior:

Releasing the finger after choosing a quantity should split the stack and give the chosen amount of the item.

Actual behavior:

The game switches item categories instead of confirming the selected quantity
