 Description   

~edit:~This bug only affects Android. It does not affect Windows 10 or iOS

Device:Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
Touch and hold screen to mine something (Example cobblestone) and turn device around [KEEP FINGER ON BUT DON'T MOVE IT] (make sure there is autorotation enabled) when game turns around, turn device back [STILL DON'T MOVE FINGER] and then take your finger off. You will notice that game will continue action (mine something) and you don't need to hold it. Found it really useful on Skyblock. It may be only on android, even may only be on Samsung, may only work on my device but I think its can be abused must be dealt with.

I can confirm this is still a bug on 0.15.90.2 on samsung galaxy tab 4. rplatham do you have your device set to auto rotate?

Comment by rplatham [ 13/Sep/16 ]

Cannot reproduce on Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920W8), Android 6.0.1 MCPE 0.15.90.2 When I am touching the screen, it appears that screen rotation is now disabled.

Does this issue still occur in 0.15.1+ ? If so please respond.

Cannot reproduce on iOS 9.3 iPhone 5s MCPE 0.14.2

Comment by Azelef [ 11/May/16 ]

So I didn't find this report while searching because it was closed...
I wanted to add that this bug is useful for AFK farms, and it would be nice to allow touchscreen users to AFK easily somehow if this bug is fixed.

This still affects 0.14.2 Android, tested on Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 5.1.1. I tested Win 10 and couldn't reproduce on an Asus B121 Tablet Win10 Pro (Version 1511 build 10586.318), but that may not be representative. iOS device tests outstanding...

Please confirm if this still affects 0.14.1

Comment by rplatham [ 14/Oct/15 ]

Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy S4 phone Android 5.0.1 MCPE 0.12.2. Also affects movement (i.e hold forward then flip the rotation and release and you'll walk without touching the screen)

Comment by Katten [ 01/Oct/15 ]

Just confirmed to affect 0.12.1 on iPhone 6 Plus (iOS 9.0.1).

Comment by HyperCamel [ 30/Sep/15 ]

Can anyone confirm whether this occurs in 0.12.1? I am trying to clean up old issues.

Comment by AMAN4700 [ 02/Aug/15 ]

Fixed because bubble now goes wherever your finger goes. If this behavior changes I will reopen

Comment by Daniel Wustenhoff [ 29/Apr/15 ]

key / touch / mouse state does not reset when the "window" is re-initlialized (on rotate for instance) will be fixed with future input overhauls

Comment by AMAN4700 [ 18/Apr/15 ]

Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Android 4.4.2.
