Item drops drop into transparent blocks and cannot be picked up.
When you mine a block and there are transparent blocks around, the item will sometimes drop into the transparent block and not allow you to pick up the drop.
This is most prevalent with stairs. To pick up the item you must destroy the block that the item fell into.

I have had this happen before in older builds, cannot confirm or deny for 1.4.2 yet.
This may also be related to MC-15
Surely is grass not transparent, but I don't see any difference if the non-pickable item hovers over grass, stone or any transparent block. See also the first comment in MC-15: Pretty minor, yeah, but pretty irritating too. Possibly unrelated, but sometimes when this happens I can't pick up the item at all, even if I dig all around it, relog, etc.
Possibly fixed along with MC-15?
If not, related to the spawning-in-sign thing I described over there.
Maybe regression caused by MC-15.
Actually this is a bug, however...

When you throw item ('q' key) on lower step of a stair,
item bounces on it. In certain condition, item bounces
long time...till it disappears in 5 minutes.
I'll attach sample world data.
In 1.4.2 release, items fall onto lower step of stair, and
you cannot pick up them. This occurs in 1.4.3 prerelease, 1.4.4 release and 1.4.5 release.
Maybe regression of MC-15. And this ticket is duplication of MC-2046 and/or MC-3019.
MC-1720 closed as 'incomplete', so I open this.
Please reopen either and mark this 'duplicate' of it.

Yes, the items might also fall below placed blocks..
Is this related?
When digging a 1 block hole and not picking up the drop of it, then placing glowstone into it, the drop will hover up one block but be impossible to pick up
Items get stuck in half slabs too.
Edit: spelling and summarization
Yes, and the hover issue is a client/server sync bug it seems, the server knows that the item is under the block but the client renders it on top anyway.
I mostly notice this in Jungles when cutting trees, with all the leaves around, a lot of items fall under the leaves.
Could be fixed by making the items perceive all blocks to be opaque and solid.
Yes, this is quite an annoying little bug.
I've just come across having an item stuck in a sign, I assume it's the same issue.
The situation:
I want to avoid using the item->Pos coordinates to place the item where I want it, as I need to copy the system a lot. Editing the item it spawns is easy, the position is more of a hassle.
It can be picked up by being near the sign, but I cannot allow the player into the spawning area.
If needed I can provide screenshot(s) and/or a .schematic file.
PS: Application is for an adventure map: it's a shop where you can buy gear with xp. I'd use command blocks with give, but I can't use enchantments and names that way.
For now I'll stick with the 1/50 chance of failure, and I'll use the Item->Age property to make the items despawn after 1 minute instead of 5.
