After the first of the 1.19.7x updates and also on the latest 1.19.73 it's impossible to place any blocks on the sides of a block with a GUI sneaking.

Before the 1.19.7x it was possible to place a torch on top of a crafting table while sneaking, without opening the crafting table UI.

Now when you try to place something sneaking on a crafting table, a chest, an hopper etc in sequence the block is placed, the GUI opens and the block placed disappears.

I tried with an android version and the block can be placed without disappearing but the GUI opens nonetheless while sneaking making the whole process of placing for example rails on top of hoppers very tedious.
