Cannot hold down right mouse button while placing blocks in the air

Holding down right click while being in a position suitable to placing blocks in the air won't place the blocks, only the first block will be placed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Load a world in creative, superflat preferably.
2. Make a line blocks for you to stand on in the air.
3. Stop flying and stand on the line of blocks.
4. At the beginning of the line, look at the air beside the block, in a position where you would be able to place blocks.
5. Start holding down your "place block" button and moving sideways towards the end of the line.

Expected results

All the blocks alongside the line are filled.

Observed results

Only the block where you started is filled.

I tested this on both Xbox One and Windows 10, survival and creative. Didn't work on either.
