Game ignores primary mouse button setting in menus

Because I am left-handed, I have the mouse buttons reversed in Windows. Starting with 1.21.120, Minecraft somehow ignores this in all menus. The button functions are swapped in the opening menu, in the pause screen menu, and even in the inventory! The attack/pick/use functions are not affected. Changing button bindings only affects which buttons attack/pick/use, and has no effect on the menus.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. In Windows, go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Mouse

  2. Change the primary mouse button from Left to Right

  3. Open Minecraft

  4. Click on a menu button using Right Click

Observed Results:

Nothing happens.

Expected Results:

The button should be pressed.

It has become unplayable for me as well, huge issue

yes me too! its infuriating! left handed player as well

Clearly a bug introduced in a recent update. Makes Bedrock unplayable. There isn’t even a way in settings to map the mouse buttons for the menu. If the game has to capture the buttons, it has to be able to map the mouse buttons in the menu as an alternative at least.

As left-handed player, I confirm the issue.

I can only Use Controllers now because I don't want to change my behaviour to access it.

Yup. I’m dealing with this too. Very annoying.
