Villagers stay outside at night
Sometimes villagers will stay outside at night.
Farmers can get distracted for prolonged periods with their crop activities. Some also get distracted and linger at windows, and sometimes linger outside doorsteps, trying the stairs once and then pausing to rest before moving again, sometimes aiming somewhere else besides the door they're at. The ones on the fenced-in porch can also take quite a while to move indoors.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.6.2 / Launcher version 1.1.3 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Still affects 16w41a.
Most make it inside, but many get distracted, especially farmers with their crop activities. Some also get distracted and linger at windows, and sometimes linger outside doorsteps, trying the stairs once and then pausing to rest before moving again. The ones on the fenced-in porch don't ever seem to be in any hurry, either, many of those take the longest.

Hmm...I seem to remember that being an issue before the newest release. Let me see if I can find the issue number.
Edit: Here's another open ticket, but it's not the one I remember. And it goes back to 2013. o.0 MC-12675

Were there spare doors nearby that weren't taken by other villagers?
This happens to me as well, it's rather annoying.
My village had one door that was easily accessible, the library, and all villagers ignored it. Several of them stood staring at the church which had spawned too high to be entered, others stood between the library and the house next door (also inaccessible). I added blocks to access the church and house, and some of the villagers went inside but others stayed out, even when I pushed them until they moved, they would wander elsewhere without going inside. Two of them stood to either side of the block of dirt staring at the door as if they still couldn't figure out how to get inside. The monster AI has been able to follow me through much trickier paths than that.
I had heard before that villagers would gain a negative reaction to the player if villagers were killed by zombies, but I don't see how I'm expected to help if they can't even go inside at night. I really hope they don't implement that one.
Also, why would they need a door not taken by other villagers? They can go into buildings together. They do it all the time.
My village is in seed: PuzzleMage at -458, 64, 115. I have seen similar behavior elsewhere.
Still in 1.6.2. Seed: WindowTravel coordinates (124, 78, 263) the first night. See attachment.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.2 / Launcher version 1.3.4 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Yes, I think it is a concern (two new pics attached to the issue). Ran 1.7.2 with 1.3.4 launcher just now and my friend in the white coat was wandering about outside in the dead of night. Maybe he felt secure by all my torches?
Seed: 4703063874724549443
Approx. coords where pics were taken: x:21 z:2362
Survival mode, vanilla Minecraft, moon directly overhead.
I just updated the tags to the new version sorry about that
This is still an issue in the snapshots for 1.8, I'm doing a lot of testing of the new farming mechanics, and have seen this plenty of times. In the case of the Farmers themselves, they even begin to actively farm, sometimes even leaving a house to do so.
I've noticed it through all the 1.8 snapshots up to 14w31c so far. Sometimes they even leave their houses at night for no reason and stand around outside. It may not be part of the same bug, but I've also noticed at least one villager who stays in a fenced yard at night and makes no effort to go inside.
Confirmed for 1.8.1-pre2.
Confirmed for 1.8.1.
Confirmed for 1.8.4
Confirmed that this is still happening up to 1.8.8, at least for me.
this is still an issue, as of 2/24/2016, Win10, Beta 14.0.
villagers wandering off into the wild, I have tracked some of them far from their starting village and checked on map (very thank full for that), had to use a 4:1 map and nearly an 8:1 map. it seems they just go off in a random direction. some times as a small group but often alone. night seems to have no effect on them short of being easy pray for the mobs.
3/1/16
Confirming a date is useless, confirm for versions instead
Does this still happen in the current versions?
well, unfortunately yes it continues to occur
Win10 MC Beta 15.10
10/17/16
That's pocket edition. Can someone confirm for the Java version?
Confirmed for 1.11.2; they often stand next to a door and open it, but then close the door and make no attempts to enter a house.
Confirmed for 1.12 pre 2
Confirmed for 1.12.2. For me this seems to happen most often when the door is a block higher than ground level (forcing the villager to jump to enter the doorway). They will run up to the door, open it and jump, but then "miss" the gap and then close the door without a further attempt to enter the house. This seems to be independent of the farming issue and occurs even when no crops are in the village.

Can confirm in 1.20.1
I saw a cleric villager just standing still outside at night in my superflat world, not moving for maybe 2 minutes until I set the time to day.
Not sure if the bug is caused by me using the "/time set night command" in the first place though.
