iOS Disable first item auto-select

Please add an option in 1.6 to disable auto-select of the first item in inventory. First item Auto-select has caused my player to bop home in the middle of mining runs without realizing the return scepter was selected; nearly blow up my farm with an auto-selected bomb; and whack multiple items with a pickaxes including children, bins, neighbors, and pathways. When you’re focused on game play, goals and timing, it is very distracting to have to constantly remember to deselect the first item or rearrange your inventory. Please disable!

Finally someone with exactly the same problem as me (only in my case it's on Android). I thought a lot about how to report it since I thought it was a bug and I thought I was going to fix it in the updates that have been coming out in recent days, when I saw that they didn't fix it and that there were no longer people complaining, that's when I started I thought which maybe was a new feature, so I looked here to see if there was anyone with the same problem and finally found it. It is true that the automatic selection of the first space bothers me a lot (what I did notice is that in my case, I don't know if you too, it is automatically selected when I get on the horse) because you also put the return of the scepter in the first space (no matter what you put there it will always be annoying anyway).

I hope that now that we are at least two people with exactly the same problem they will solve it (in the event that it is a bug they will fix it and if it is a new feature they will make it optional by placing a button to disable it in the menu). I haven't been able to enjoy the game since the update came out (I literally haven't played anything) because it's very, very annoying. In advance, an apology for any bad spelling and grammatical errors, I am writing this in Google Translate and my spelling is not perfect.

I am having that issue and another, similar one. When I am done with a tool or I have a stack of flowers (just example) that I gave, one to a villager, and I go to deselect it, by tapping said item, it will treat it as though I am performing the tool again. It has cause me to destroy things that I don't want destroyed, and slow my game down when everyone that I give a gift two makes me go through the text, "Youve already given Demetrius a gift today". All I want to do is deselect the flower that I gave to him, by tapping the flower stack, and it activates the use function.

You may see another example as crazy, but I'll share anyway.

If I want to get rid of a plant, I have been known to use a pickaxe every so often. I hit the plant so that I can start a new plant for a quest, and I can re-use the fertilizer or retaining soil for the next plant I need. Then I tap the pick axe to deselect it, and it un-tills my soil, and I lose the fertilizer.

I use the axe on a tree to grab the sap collector to put on another tree, and end up whacking the tree with the axe.

The only things that don't seem to behave this way are most foods and bombs. It is so frustrating.

Just googling for my problem is difficult. The wording escapes me.
