Maybe its the device/platform. What device are you on in that clip?

ipad 2018, but looking at your buttons having those overlapped might also be causing the issue.

Definitely will look into this, i am not sure if maybe having the dev setting to display input is causing any issues here. But here is a short clip I took from using the dedicated edit button, dont mind my bad edits. https://imgur.com/a/fcvRawi
