The shield cannot be used when I sneak in water with the new controls(Joystick and Tap to interact)

Whenever I am in water I cannot use my shield by pressing the sneak button. I also cannot sneak to prevent myself from taking damage through magma blocks when I am underwater.

I play using Joystick and Tap to interact controls, so maybe this has something to do with it.

Please fix this bug. This is a very irritating bug.
I play Minecraft on an Android 12 device.

Thank you.
