[MCPE-57257] Swimming/Crawling 'cursor' targets 1 block above

Expected Results: Right-clicking/tapping a block or object while in a 1 block high space or while swimming will interact with that block or object; eg. placing a block in front of you, setting a repeater tick time, pushing a button/lever, etc. Mining/digging the block in front of you at camera level will mine that block.

Observed Results: You are unable to place blocks and interact with objects (buttons/levers, repeaters, etc.) at camera-level while swimming/crawling. Placing a block while in a 1 block high space or while swimming attempts to place the block above you. Mining/digging the block mines the block above you.

Steps to Reproduce:

Dig out a 1-block high tunnel.
Use water to start swimming and enter the 1-block high tunnel.
Interact (mine/dig/place block/etc.) with the block immediately in front of you.

Comments:

Until 1.13.0 onward, you could place a line of redstone and repeaters in a 1-high tunnel, which was extremely convenient and useful for making compact and discrete redstone "tubes" in built structures and in water.

There's also a glitch where coming out of a swim while touching the ceiling will push you into that block and start suffocating/teleport you up.

Can't reproduce using Windows 10. The bug only seems to occur for mobile devices. https://streamable.com/fx2lc

Cannot reproduce with controller, and touch with split controls, though it was replicated by the normal control scheme with touch.
Also skylord_wars, did you use a Windows 10 with touchscreen support?

I can't reproduce using Minecraft for Windows 10. The video I uploaded was a video recorded on an Android device.

Here is my original bug report:

I was trying to exit my secret base by swimming into a 1x1x1 air gap and when I tap the trapdoor, the trapdoor didn't open nor close. Instead, I am able to break blocks outside of the trapdoor. That would make my secret door essentially unusable.

What I expected to happen was...:
The trapdoor should respond when I tap by closing or opening.

What actually happened was...:
Instead, it did not respond. But I am able to break blocks outside of the trapdoor. This works with an iron trapdoor.

Steps to Reproduce:

Build a pool of water (I'll provide a screenshot)
Place a trapdoor at the corner (just like the screenshot)
Swim towards the trapdoor and quickly open and close the trapdoor to enter the trapdoor'S beneath (I might make a clip)
Try tapping the trapdoor. Nothing will happen. Instead, you will be able to break blocks outside of the trapdoor. This would be annoying if it is an iron trapdoor.

This bug is only present if "Split Controls" is toggled off. As a result, it should primarily affect mobile devices.

This bug also occurs when crouching, but to a much lesser extent. I attached a video, (FullSizeRender.mov,) that shows this misalignment.

The issue seems to stem from the game assuming the player is always stood fully up and not taking other positions like swimming, flying, crouching, crawling, etc. into account to align correctly.

I am on an iPad Pro 12.9” on iPadOS 13.4 running Minecraft 1.14.30.
