Rails not changing direction if there is another railway behind the switch point
The bug
Flipping both switches, I would expect both rails to change direction, but the result is shown in the second picture, the left one is still in the old position, probably because there is another rail right behind it. The other one just switched fine.
How to reproduce
There are two screenshots attached, that are describing this problem better than I can. The first one shows the initial situation. Both levers are up and both rails are directed to the left.

Flipping both switches, I would expect both rails to change direction, but the result is shown in the second picture, the left one is still in the old position, probably because there is another rail right behind it. The other one just switched fine. In my opinion if the rail behind the switch is straight through, this should work as expected.

Confirmed.
Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w30c? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Hey, I just tested this and it is still not working. I added another screenshot which is the state that was shown in the second screenshot I attached. The first rail is still not changing directions.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 / Launcher version 1.5.3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Problem still exists
Thanks for the feedback Martin. Please update the affected version(s) and make sure to keep these updated in the future.
This is still an issue in 1.12.2 so the affected versions are way behind also this is an issue when the rail is one block above.
I'm not a mod so I can't update :/
