Minecraft does not cut trees?

Hi, my brother recently started playing minecraft, but somehow we can't cut trees 😬

We press the tree and then often press the left mouse button…

What are doing wrong and how, or is that a bug?

You have to press it for a long time, otherwise it won't work

You have to hold down the left click. If that's what you're doing wrong.

The left mouse button must be held down until the "Abort animation" is completed.

The tree piece then drops as an item and can be picked up.

Ah, thanks.

Thanks.
