Verification builds:
1.1.0.3 Retail
1.1.0.4 Retail

Summary:
When using 'lefty' touch controls, the direction buttons can't be held down. Instead you end up breaking or placing blocks randomly underneath the button.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Switch to Lefty controls (Settings > Touch > Lefty)
  2. Try to walk forward

Observed Results:
The controls can't be used, instead blocks are placed or broken.

Expected Results:
The controls should function in the same way as right handed.

Screenshots/Videos attached: Yes

Thank you everyone. Very efficient work. Very much appreciated.

Comment by John Irvine [ 21/Apr/17 ]

not only does it break blocks, it allows you to move your view around, which is what the other hand should do. to the point, that if recreated, will cause all other controls to not respond until you remove your finger.

Can confirm:

How to reproduce:

Goto settings,
Controls,
Lefty - Enable.

Doesn't work as expected.

This is also happening to me as well, which sucks cause I'm left handed.

Forward seems to be the main issue. Sideways and backwards are ok.
