MC-107795Redstone connects to Observer Blocks on sides
The observer blocs works very well.
It has an input and an output.
But, if you place a redstone dust next to a side which is no input or output, the redstone will connect to the bloc...
not so horrible, but it could be embarrassing for some redstone builders !
thanks for reading,

Sort of the MCPE-equivalent of MC-107795, which was fixed in 16w41a.
See this video for a demonstration/explanation:

Observers redirect redstone (like a repeater/comparator/adjacent dust), which makes no sense. In a future update redstone dust will automatically connect to adjacent components with inputs, but this doesn't apply in this instance, because the Observer only takes input from one side, and as you can see in the picture and video, it's redirecting no matter which side is adjacent to the dust. To make it even more confusing, the redirection doesn't appear visually, so the redstone dust still looks like it is in the shape it would be otherwise. A proper fix would be to make the Observer only redirect redstone on its output side. This is how it works in the Java edition.
I think this bug may be related to MCPE-11871 and MCPE-16170.
In MCPE, Observers do not redirect redstone dust visually at all, but server-side they redirect on all sides, as in the Java edition. (See
MCPE-15850)Personally, I think both instances of observers should be changed to function like this: only the output should redirect redstone dust. I doesn't make sense for the observing input side or any other side to redirect redstone dust, but it does make sense for the output to redirect it.
Agree, redirecting the output only would allow compact redstone without side effects.
