It's possible to interact, break, placing and attack around obstructions in 3rd person view

I found a glitch only on phone/tablet version of Minetest, how to reproduce a glitch?
I build a wall with a chest that cannot be reached. Build like this, stand on this position, make sure to toggle 3rd person mode and try to interact a chest to open and store/steal items. If you did it correctly, you reproduced a glitch. If you not, its going to be sad :(

I dont think this is a glitch.

Keep in mind, this glitch only works on Android version. It need to reproduce a glitch to make players interact through walls and stuff like that.

Do you mean being able to open chests like this?:

(Screenshots were made on android version 0.4.15 (and this post was also made on mobile))

Edit:i fixed a typing error

[WSDguy2014]

@kingoscargames Yes.

[kingoscargames]

Thats because mobile doesnt have a cursor and can just click everywhere.

Or crosshair. Especially if you playing with mods trying to shoot at the animal for example.

[rubenwardy]

is this still an issue after 01c319d ?

I expect it still happens because the chest is within interact distance but is behind an obstruction. There would need to be a check for an obstruction.

How about making it always pointing at crosshair (center) when in 3rd person view?

[WSDguy2014]

@srifqi Yes, sure it's needed like in the PC does. I saw the the crosshair in first person view in the modified Minetest build engine for the Android, such as CubeMator, it's badly functions (like breaking the block through and badly updates node/entity highlight).
