UPDATE: My argument in this ticket is the one direction part, not the flow down part.

So this is gonna be a bug, right?
I don't get it. What do you mean by "hole"?

(I know that this issue tracker is not a discussion forum, but I still want to clarify some things here)
Hi FVbico, Neko and other moderators and helpers, for the first thing I want to thank you sincerely for removing my doubts patiently. Still, there're two issues I don't fully understand. I know that in your mind maybe I'm currently being a nuisance, but I still hope that you can annotate on my questions thoroughly so that I will not use these very issues to bother the issue tracker furthermore. Thank you!
1. About MC-129031: I'm not really a master in English, so I don't know why water flowing to the side of the stair is called "flowing down", and that water flowing directly to the front of the stair is not called "flowing down". Note that I'm not talking about water surmounting the upper side of the stair before flowing to the back, or spreading to other waterlogged blocks (I already knew that it is intended to not have this feature); I'm just talking about two cases of the words "flowing down" in my mind. I don't know but it doesn't seem to be intended that water won't ever flow directly to the front. Even if it does, it never violates anything like built-in-advance contraptions and so on, so is there problem with it?
2. About MC-129034: I understand your explanation on the coordinate thing, so is it actually a bug? Or should water always flow to one side and that it’ll never be changed?
This is the same issue as
MC-129031. The water is flowing down hill.But this issue deals with a single stair, and the water is only flowing down in one direction!
I updated this issue to make it also deal with slabs.
All of these cases are intended. Water will only go in the direction where it can flow down blocks.
But the water can flow down four directions of slabs (two for stairs). All these directions fit what you call "flow down". So why is the water only flowing down in one direction?
In
MC-128700's first screenshot when a slab is made to be a water source block, the water spread four directions around, but in my screenshot it doesn't.this game mechanic only works with full block spaces, the water is not on a highercoordinate when it’s in another block.
But why does the water on slabs in
MC-128700's first screenshot working well?Because water flows to holes, and only spreads to all directions if there’s no hole nearby.
There're no holes nearby in my screenshot!
Yes there are, nearby != next to.
OK forget about the holes. Let me just ask that why does the coordinate thing affect the flowing directions of water whose source is on a water-logged block?
Somebody help me? FVbico commented on this issue earlier:
this game mechanic only works with full block spaces, the water is not on a highercoordinate when it’s in another block.
So how does the coordinate thing affect the flowing directions of water whose source is on a water-logged block?
And I still don't see why this is a duplicate of
MC-129031. The point I'm stressing in this issue is that in a normal way the water can flow down four directions of slabs (two for stairs), not things about water flowing down or not. All these directions fit what is called "flowing down". So why is the water only flowing down in one direction?Look at it as block spaces: the water and slab are in the same block space, next to that there’s no block spaces with holes below them, so the water only flows to the side, not down.
As for the reason it doesn’t flow in all 4 directions: on the far left of the screenshot it can flow down, the water source sees this and only flows to the nearest places it can flow down a block, that’s also the reason it’s a duplicate: because of the reason of resolving: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-129031?focusedCommentId=449564&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-449564

Since the water cannot go out of the back of the stairs, it will go to the side, as that's the shortest route to the hole in the back of the screenshote (where it can go down one block).
2. No it is not a bug, and no it doesn't do that always. It prefers to go to blocks where it, soon, can flow down a block, remove the sbal and you have the same result, because it sees the hole on the left on the screenshot, it only wants to go there.

OK, I finally understood what was happening behind the game. Sorry for my long-windedness, and thank you for your assistance!
