Console Question on Terraria 1.3 for Console (UI Question and possible idea)

[Soviet Soap]

I was reading the 'Meet The Team: Pipeworks QA Tester Dorn Jonah McIntosh' and I noticed the UI from PC Terraria being controlled by the Xbox One controller. This got me wondering how you will be able to use the interface. Since the developers want to make console Terraria as close to PC as possible, I wondered if you could MOVE while in the inventory UI and if so, how? Naturally I know that Pipeworks are working very hard on the update and I'm extremely excited for this release date soon and would like to know what we are getting to upgrade our now outdated console version.

Here are some sneak peeks into how the 1.3 console version looks (the update will be for Xbox One and PS4 only) You can browse through these YouTube videos from Pipeworks. One of them does show some UI as well.

Yes I have been following these Youtube posts and whenever they opened up the inventory UI it seemed like they were static and couldn't move. I was wondering if anyone had some news on if they could move.

There was a function in options to pause gameplay while in menus on pc, maybe this was retained and enabled on their playthroughs since console had it already?

Oh no doubt in offline mode this will be retained. But my question was if you could move while in the inventory if that function was not active.

I've always just assumed that it'll be the same as if you use a controller for PC Terraria, in which case I don't believe you can move with the inventory open. (Don't take my word on this though, it's been a while since I've used a controller on PC)
