Android It keeps autoselecting items from the sidebar (android tablet) + path finder issue

[duncan_idaho]

Items keep selecting fromthe sidebar since 1.6 so they're constantly being used by mistake.

For example: Whatever item is at the top, frequently selects itself when exiting an activity, like riding a horse.

Or the remaining items in a stack still being selected after using one. For example: drinking a coffee, and then the character is still holdng up another cup.

In both cases you have to unselect else doing something stupid, like teleport home when in the middle of something.

Also randomly the pick-axe selects itself on approach to a chest, so you end up bashing the chest and it screws the organisation up inside.

Second thing— the pathfinding around pet and especially horses near gates has gotten significantly worse. It was fine in 1.5. Now, my guy consistently takes the longest route when his horse is near a gate, even though there's plenty of room. I have to manually walk him there.

I was coming to report the pickaxe one as well! I hate it! I'll be approaching my chests after a full mining session or tree-chopping session where my energy is at minimum, and instead of opening the chest my character equips the pickaxe from the 2nd row and whacks the chest! So not only did it mess up the item organization inside, I exhausted myself by using the last stamina on an unwanted action.

Of the times it has happened, it seems to most-often happen when I am approaching from above, but I've had sides and bottom trigger it, too. Always my pickaxe is not selected. I've been holding something else and it has switched to my pickaxe, but usually my hands are empty. It even happens when my pickaxe is in the 2nd row of my inventory, so I'm positive that I'm not accidentally selecting the pickaxe.

Hey, we're aware of issues with tap-to-move & are still actively working to fix them. We're having issues getting the "select first item" bug to happen though; we had a fix for many cases of that in 1.6.14.4.

A few things to help us diagnose the issue:
1. Can you let me know the exact version number (including build number), like PerleyGates did above, by tapping [?] on the title screen and writing down what you see in the bottom left?
2. Can you take a video of the pickaxe being auto-selected when approaching the chest? We've tried many different scenarios and still haven't managed to get it to happen, so a specific documented case would help us narrow down the problem.

Videos aren't easy to upload here, but if you could use Google Drive, YouTube, or something like Streamable to upload a clip, that'd be very helpful.

Hey, would you mind taking a video of a case where the pickaxe is being auto-selected when approaching a chest? (You can upload Google Drive, YouTube, or something like Streamable and link it here).

We've been trying to fix issues with tap-to-move tool selection in 1.6, so any clues as to how it happens would be very helpful.

I haven't managed to get a recording of it - I can hardly seem to remember to start recording on my way home from the mines, and when I have recording on it never does it. But it still happens, and it's still a problem.

I think it's related to having the sword or scythe be selected, but it automatically activating my pickaxe for breaking rocks either in the mine or on the farm. I'm guessing because it automatically selects the pickaxe a bunch in the mines, or when I'm clearing my farm, something gets triggered to automatically select the pickaxe when I try to open my chest? But I am trying to get a recording of it!

(Before your post, I honestly had no idea I could even record the screen on my phone natively! I thought it needed a special app for streamers or something! )
