When playing Minecraft on mobile with the control schemes the feature tap to interact, the Touch Circle appears excessively and when it shouldn't.

The Touch circle is that circle that appears when you press and hold to break blocks in creative and survival. In survival it fills up as you press and hold and until the block breaks.

The annoying Touch Circle will appear when you break blocks as it should, but it ALSO appears when you tap to open doors, press buttons, open chests, attack mobs, etc. and most nonsensically, when you drag your finger across the screen to just casually look around. On some smaller devices the Circle would be HUGE, and completely in the way of what you're trying to do. Before "RenderDragon" was added I used shader packs to enhance the lighting in game, and Most importantly, to HIDE the darn Touch circle, but of course the rendering engine just had to be replaced, and it BROKE everything, with no updates in sight for said shaderpacks.

I've been playing MCPE since Alpha 0.8.1. (For almost 10 years now) In that version, The Touch circle would ONLY appear SPECIFICALLY when breaking blocks. It WOULD NOT appear when looking around, tapping doors and attacking mobs (creative and survival).

Looking back, its no wonder the game's controls were more bearable when Quality control was better and the controls were more consistent in behavior back then. (Not saying the game is worse now. Minecraft is Amazingly feature packed these days, and is getting better with every update.

The Touch Circle should ONLY appear when you are breaking blocks, and should be DISABLED/Hidden when you are placing blocks, tapping to open doors, chests, pressing buttons, and attacking. 

The new controls were an absolute Blessing. The game needed new controls for a while, and to see that they added new controls shows the devs care. They were slightly flawed at first, and had no Customization, until recently( which has HUGE potential BTW). One other benefit when they were first added, the Touch circle issue was FIXED for a few updates actually! (The game even has included video of this intentional behavior! Located in the "touch" Menu in the controls tab, where you can go in to select what type of control layout you want to use) It was functioning correctly like this until a certain 1.18.30 something?? update version where it started appearing at ALL times again like its doing now and before the new controls were added. I was quite upset to put it lightly. 

A SOLUTION: IF this behavior is in fact intended, please ADD A TOGGLE to turn the touch circle off for individuals who feel they do not need it. If not PLEASE fix this as functional and enjoyable controls are very important for having fun in a Video Game.

HOW TO REPRODUCE 

1) In Minecraft BE, Open SETTINGS>Controls>TOUCH>Change Control Mode>Then CHOOOSE either: 

"Joystick & Tap to interact"

OR

"D-Pad & tap to interact"

SELECT.

2) Drag your finger across screen to look around, place and break some blocks, open doors chests ETC. Attack some mobs, and you will see the Touch circle appear EVERY time.

EXPECTED Result 

Touch Circle ONLY appears when pressing and holding to break blocks and NOT when Dragging to look around & Tapping to place, interact or attack. 

I will provide Images and video if possible
