My Minecraft app updated recently and now the game that I've enjoyed with my kids for years has become nearly unusable.
The first issue was that the entire screen was shifted upwards, such that the health and hunger bars were completely off the screen. Nothing was resized or distorted, just moved upwards off of the screen. I'm unable to find a setting to shift the screen back downwards, so I've had to use the option to change the screen safe area, which doesn't move the screen but rather scales it downward until the health and hunger bars are visible again. That makes everything smaller and also shifts my hot bar and controls even further away from the edge, making them hard to reach and use.
The second issue is with auto-jump. Instead of only jumping when my character is against a 1 block high object, it jumps any time my character is against any vertical surface. I can just be walking next to a wall and if I get too close to the wall it starts jumping. This makes walking through doors, or any 1 block wide opening, very difficult, because if you don't get lined up just perfectly on the opening it starts jumping as you approach the door/opening. I have turned auto-jump off for now; but, after playing the game for years with that feature enabled, this is quite frustrating.
Finally, there is a very dark vignette that has appeared around the perimeter of the screen, limiting my field of view and making gameplay quite irritating. I get really bad migraine headaches and this new weird dark orb reminds me of when a migraine begins and I start to loose my peripheral vision and get tunnel vision. It is absolutely dreadful ...both the migraine and this newly developed dark perimeter.
I did notice some graphics improvements. That water looks nice! ...however, these issues have killed the playability of the game for me. Please help. Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Invalid.
Please put only one bug report in each ticket. It is very difficult to keep track of bugs when they are not in their own tickets, and it is easier for you to make multiple tickets than for the mods to separate them.
