You should be able to place more torches by clicking against another torch.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Place one torch
• Tap or click that torch with another
• It should have placed a second torch beside the first, but did not.

In PC/Java you can place torches in the manner described, but not in Pocket Edition.

Please see the attached files to see the differences - And take note of the crosshair position
(Yellow is PC/Java, Red is MCPE)
