I'm sorry it wasn't more clear in the description. When opening up split screen, i made further edits to the issue. The referenced MCPEs listed are for Switch and Playstation. I reported this for Xbox One. If these issues track together or should linked, please do so. Thanks.
I can't replicate it organically, but i encountered it again yesterday and uploaded a clip (see attached). Yes, so when I encounter the issue, i have to leave the world and re-enter, and functionality returns.
I replicated the issue differently this time. We had a multiplayer 3rd screen, and they exited. As soon as they did, chunks stopped forming and again, no left trigger functionality.
