Hi, this issue has been fixed in 22w05a.
I could indeed reproduce this behavior in 1.18.1, however, wasn't able to in 22w03a, as a result of MC-248182. I've just tested this now in 22w05a, and pointed dripstone appears to fall normally and maintain its shape whilst falling directly under a block. Since this can no longer be reproduced as of 22w05a, it has been fixed in this version.

The Bug:
Pointed dripstone doesn't maintain its thickness whilst falling if placed via commands.
Despite even changing the "thickness" block state, falling pointed dripstone will always have the "tip" thickness, and only the hitboxes of them are changed. It appears that MC-248182 wasn't fully fixed as this can still be reproduced through the use of commands.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Place down some pointed dripstone by using the command provided below.
/fill ~2 ~5 ~2 ~2 ~20 ~2 minecraft:pointed_dripstone[vertical_direction=down,thickness=base]
- Watch closely as the pointed dripstone falls.
- Take note as to whether or not pointed dripstone maintains its thickness whilst falling if placed via commands.
Observed Behavior:
Pointed dripstone placed via commands always has the "tip" thickness whilst falling.
Expected Behavior:
Pointed dripstone would maintain its thickness whilst falling.
Relates to MC-248182.
Confirmed.
