I'm not able to pick up water or lava in a bucket in either Creative or Survival mode.

Reproduce
1. Fresh install
2. Create New World: Play > New > Creative
3. Find water and select the bucket
4. Single tap on water

Expected Results:
Water block is removed and the bucket turns blue (indicating that it has water in it).

Actual Results:
Water block is removed but the bucket does not show that it has water in it (it does not turn blue). I further tried to place the water (just in case the bucket actually picked up the water), but nothing comes out

I've reproduced this this on my Nexus 5, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10 (all running Android 4.4.2) using completely different maps, and I get the same results.

I have attached one of the maps that I last used in my last test.

The only time that I was successful (in picking up water with an empty bucket), was when I connected (over wifi) to my friend's map.

On all my devices, I have tried killing the app, clear data, uninstall then reinstall, uninstall then delete the /storage/sdcard0/games directory then reinstall. I creating new maps everytime. I have tried flipping the "Split controls" option. With all of this... I still can't ever pick up water or lava in a Bucket.
