Cannot control character while Topbar Game Context Menu is open

This new topbar does not work for mobile in its current state.

While the Game Context Menu is open on mobile, undesirable behavior occurs depending on your control scheme.

When using Dynamic Thumbstick, it will freeze up completely in the direction you were moving it in until you let go. If you weren’t moving it at all, it will remain stuck in place and you won’t be able to move.

Similar behavior applies to the regular Thumbstick, but the key difference is that you can still move if it was already in use. Otherwise, it will remain stuck in place and you won’t be able to move.

The only movement more unaffected by this is Tap To Move, but this only because the menu closes itself every time you tap the screen.

It’s been over four months now and this is still happening. Given how it now requires two taps to open the Backpack/Inventory on mobile (and how the Game Context Menu still closes every time the screen is tapped anywhere else), this bug is a huge annoyance in competitive games.

I’ve since updated my iPhone 6s to iOS 14.0.1.
