Summary:
In 26.13 Stable, opening the Inventory or a Crafting Table with a controller while Screen Animations is disabled automatically positions the controller cursor in a useful location:
Inventory: The cursor is placed on the first inventory slot.
Crafting Table: The cursor is placed in the Recipe Book or Creative Inventory, allowing the player to immediately begin selecting items.
As of 26.30.20 Preview, this behavior no longer occurs. Instead, the cursor is placed in the center of the screen when either interface is opened. As a result, players must manually move the cursor to the desired location each time, creating unnecessary input and slowing down inventory management and crafting.
Steps to Reproduce:
Launch Minecraft Preview 26.30.20.
Connect a controller to the device.
Navigate to Settings > Video and disable Screen Animations.
Open a world.
Open the Inventory.
Observe the location of the controller cursor.
Place and open a Crafting Table.
Observe the location of the controller cursor.
Repeat the same steps in 26.13 Stable.
Compare the cursor placement.
Observed Results:
In 26.30.20 Preview, when opening either the Inventory or a Crafting Table, the controller cursor is placed in the center of the screen.
Expected Results:
When opening the Inventory, the controller cursor should be placed on the first inventory slot.
When opening a Crafting Table, the controller cursor should automatically be placed in the Recipe Book or Creative Inventory,

I am using the official Xbox controller provided by Microsoft with a USB-C cable. Several of the questions asked are not relevant to this issue—for example, audio drivers have nothing to do with this behavior.
This issue is simple to test and reproduce, so it seems the report was not followed or understood correctly. If you still cannot reproduce it, providing a video showing your attempt would be helpful.

This also happens on Nintendo Switch, for which there isn’t a setting to turn on or off screen animations (as far as I’m able to see). Meaning everyone playing on a Nintendo Switch (1 and 2) has this bug.
Actually, sorry, I found the setting for screen animations on Nintendo Switch, and the bug happens regardless of whether it’s turned on or off or Nintendo Switch.
(Tested on Switch 2 console on version 26.30.)
A similar thing happens when the controller cursor is turned off, except the cursor will start on the helmet slot when opening the inventory. This also only happens when screen animations are turned off.
