Can only move whole stacks. Please make the old interface an option where you could move one item at a time or the whole stack by long pressing and the destination was predetermined as either the lowest empty slot or the lowest unfilled slot containing the same item

Same as Craig Pape. Just got updated to v. 1.2.13 and I can't move items at all. For example, I have iron in a furnace and I can't remove it, I can't take items from a chest. Running Android 7.1.1 on a LenovoTab 4 8 Plus.
I am also having the same issue on iOS devices (iPhone and iPad mini) since the latest Minecraft update. Please bring back the option to move individual items to and from inventory.
The UII changes are terrible. I never want to move a whole stack at a time by default, especially with literally no way to just move one at a time. Plus, using a controller, there was already a whole-stack move button. Now there are two whole-stack buttons and zero single-item buttons. That is just absurd design.
While this is aggrevating when managing chests, it is downright infuriating trying to utilize the furnance. Have the UI designers actually played the game outside of creative mode? Where resources matter? Where you always move precisely 8 coal to cook your 64 stack so you don't waste coal? Because you cannot do that now. I feel like no one in QA must play Survival either. No sane player would be in favor of this change.
uhh I am not sure about how it works with Minecraft but I do agree with everyone else the new ui is terrible
So after playing with this new UI experience for a while, I see some value in it. The ability to move whole stacks with one touch can be useful when pulling resources from chests for use in the game or organizing chests (e.g. moving stacks of resources from 1 chest to inventory then into another chest). It seems an update was pushed a week or so back that makes the UI more responsive to the long-tap for moving less-than-full stacks. If it was a bit more articulated so that it would recognize a first level long-tap for moving 1 item and then a longer long-tap for >1 but <full stack, then I could embrace this change.
It just got worse. Since last updata I did yesterday, pressing long gives the green bar yet zero items are moved. Also sigle tapping does not move an item. It is no longer possible to move one or multiple items in Pocket mode. Selecting a stack can now move them to a chest but only a complete stack. Please fix single tap for one item and holding down green bar for multiple item move. Game is now not usable
Thank you for your report!

My item UI is totally broken with the update. The game is unplayable. I can't move items between chests and my inventory.
