Couldn't find a duplicate for this.
When placing blocks (especially half-slabs; occurs with other blocks as well however), the game can sometimes double-input and place two.
I've found this to occur when using both gamepad and keyboard/mouse input methods. I made sure it wasn't my input peripherals (mouse, keyboard, gamepad; drivers reinstalled, tried with other variants such as Xbox 360 controller vs. Xbox One controller, etc).

I just purchased the brand new GameSir Galileo G8 Plus Bluetooth controller that supports newer Bluetooth technologies and I am STILL suffering from double inputs during gameplay. This negativity impacts quick controls that could result in the death of the player, such as failing to draw your bow when fighting a Ghast, bridging over the void in The End, or even mining for netherite using beds in The Nether. This happens with every Bluetooth controller I use, less likely with my Xbox Elite 2 Controller. I play on Bedrock on Android, using the most recent version, on device and on realms, on 5G or WIFI.
They are saying that this too-fast block placement bug is a duplicate of this: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-26812
Not sure I agree, since a mod changed the description of that other bug to be about opening/closing/using objects, not about placing blocks. And recent reports seem to show they've fixed the opening/closing/using problem, but not the block placement problem.
