[MCPE-8562] Cannot attack mobs in 3rd person view

Samsung Galaxy S4 (phone) running Android 5.0.1 and MCPE 0.11.0 build 13

You cannot attack mobs (hostile or passive) when in 3rd person view (split controls on or off) in any difficulty setting.

I was informed of this problem from at least two other members of the G+ beta testing community.

I have not tested this in creative mode.

Intended, cuz the ability to hit players and mobs at the back or side is disabled due to cheating in PvP! But you can only hit them at the front.

CyrusdoestheRS, I am aware of that fix and this issue is unrelated to that. Does attacking mobs in front of you work in 3rd person in your worlds? Because it does not for me or others in the G+ community.

CyrusdoestheRS can you please try attacking mobs from 3rd person and see if you can confirm it too?

Just tested it in build 14 and it worked. Android 5.0.1.
