Although this issue technically has been fixed, it doesn't work in Creative or Adventure mode due to
MC-271410.who added 'Future Update' as an affected version...
A Mojang employee; they can do that since they have access to them.
Why the issue has been reopened?
4ebugger It's probably an issue in the next snapshot, as Future Update is in the affected versions list.
Edit: For those in the future wondering, Future Update was 1.21 Pre-Release 1, which (temporarily, according to Mojang) removed the ability to light some blocks using Fire Aspect, which includes candles.
For those who haven't heard of it, Mojang says in 1.21 pre-release 1:
If I'm not mistaken, this feature starts from this bug report. Since this feature is currently temporarily removed, it is reasonable to reopen this bug report to continue keeping track.
Confirmed in 1.21.3
