I'm using the Oculus Rift with the Touch controllers. While playing, at seemingly random times, using an item will swap to another item on the hot bar (usually consistently the same spot, although not consistent between instances of the bug).
For example: If I try to mine stone with a pick-axe, right when I start mining, it swaps to the bread in a different slot. Bread is the wrong tool for the job. Even worse, this can happen during combat, forcing me to change my sword to a baked potato, a tactically inferior choice in this situation.
When this happens, no button presses seem to resolve the issue, other than exiting and rejoining the map. I've yet to find the scenario that reproduces the issue, but it tends to happen multiple times a session.
I regret having paid for a Realm last year, as this issue convinced me to stop playing. I tried playing again recently only to find that the issue still persists. I'm hoping raising the issue here can help resolve this so I can finally play again without frustration.

This issue happens to me all the time! It is aggravating! I use a Mac (Java). While breaking blocks with my pick, it will switch automatically without my input. Most of the wear on my sword is from unexpectedly whacking rocks. It also does this during combat.
Hello, Agreed this is not resolved! Also, please note:
Edit: My husband said it happens regardless of if his weapon is shown on the UI or not. But it's happening exactly as the guy above says and the only fix is going in and out of the menu once or twice. So annoying!
I think it's because I'm not using the weapon. I don't like to look at the weapon and shield, so I turn them off. Since I can't see the huge object on the screen.. I can't see when it selects another item. It seems arbitrary, but really maybe it's just because I'm actually selecting it with the hidden outline of the Pickaxe? Just a thought. Either way.. this is happening to both my husband and I constantly and it's driving us mad.
This is still happening and makes the game impossible to play since your hotbar sometimes literally switches to bread when fighting enemies.
I can confirm that as of November 5th, 2020, this issue still exists. Issue it that it's very random for me, sometimes I go hours without it, and other times it's very consistent. Someone needs to look into this, as it makes playing more infuriating than immersive...
This is not resolved. It has been inconsistent to recreate, but it seems to happen when the hotbar is near the part of my vision where my hand is pointing.
This issue happens all the time to me. I think it is because the pointer accidentally selects the items in the item bar below. I found that if I looked a little bit below the rock I am mining, the problem didn't happen. When I looked exactly straight to the rock, the problem would occur. I searched the options for VR controls, but couldn't find any options to solve this problem.
Please Mojang fix this, as it would make playing Minecraft in VR not enjoyable. Thank you
This is still an issue (August 2023). Really annoying. Happening on my Pico 4 all the time. Very reproduceable.
Re-resolving as a duplicate of MCPE-82903.
