iPad pen doesn’t work in Minecraft environment.

My iPad pen no longer works with Minecraft. Until recently I have been able to use my iPad pen on any button or world. I am able to tap (with iPad pen) the initial icon to get into the app. After that nothing works with the pen. Everything is fulling functional if I use my finger. Under the settings I have reset the “Touch” setting to default with no change. My iPad pen is fully functional with the rest of my iPad so I don’t believe that it is a paring problem.

I have deleted and reinstalled Minecraft on my iPad, the issue remains. 

Thank you for any assistance you can give.
