Lost the ability to equip the torch when mounted

[NytSong]

After the latest update, I lost the ability to equip my torch from my buggy.
It used to be V to equip it while riding but now V just brings up the hotbar wheel.  I have the torch on my hotbar so I tried selecting it from there, but it does not equip my torch.  If I want to use my torch while riding my buggy I now have to dismount, equip/unequip my torch, then remount.
I am playing this through the xbox app and I have tried to verify and repair, but that does not resolve it. I simply can no longer easily use my torch while riding anymore and it is a major pain

Same problem. This is crucial since the equipment wheel is about 2 slots too short as it is. There are 3 types of melee weapons. A ranged one. Food. Drink. Bandages. Smoothie. Shield. Torch.

 

I un-bind food and drink but its such a pain to have to open my inventory to pull out the canteen. Just make it 10 slots. Or, give us a dedicated torch button like holding Y on controller or something.

I had it working for a short while and I thought everything was fixed but then my friend was hosting and I crashed and it stopped working again. Once again I have to get off my buggy, equip or unequip my torch, then get back on. I just want a simple button to do it again. What was a simple process is now a questionably functional multi-step process.

You have to open the hotpouch and select the torch manually

Yes, I know that.  It gets broken to where that doesn't work on a buggy.
