Spectators are affected by vines and ladders
Whilst in spectator mode, when holding shift (or CTRL in my case) to descend, it becomes glitchy when directly above, neither letting you on the ladder nor letting you descend normally. The screenshot isn't a good way to show it, but here is how to reproduce it. Dig down a few blocks and place a ladder in the hole. Switch to Spectator and try to go down the ladder.

MC-61340Vines have been fixed for a future version (Most likely 14w28b;
MC-61340). Not sure if ladders will be fixed though.Fixed in 14w28b
yup this was fixed in 14w28b, as marked here
MC-61340It's great that this was fixed for spectator mode, but why not also add this to creative mode? It's quite annoying to get around in creative mode when you can't use shift to go down if there's a lot of vines around, or you're in a jungle, or you're flying your way through a keep with lots of laddery passages.
The bug report for this is here:
MC-5410"In Creative, flying down is stopped when brushing up against ladders or vines."Relates to
MC-5410&MC-12829.@Swekob: Please don't request changes to resolved tickets unless they need to be reopened or it's something equally important.
Alright
