Lowering height by one block causes fall damage even with water brake
Jumping into the temporary hole on the main floor of my new house at level 88 works fine, safe to mining level 10. From the basement at 85 to 10 is fatal.
Original description:
Dig a 2x1 hole from y:66 to y:11 straight down and install ladders, adding a torch every 10 blocks on the opposite wall.
Place a sign opposite ladder wall with two open blocks beneath it.
Place water above the sign, creating a water brake.
Test. Voila. Works very well.
Now lower the height of the hole by one block, removing a ladder block, so you how have a top floor at y:65.
Test.
Every time I now take significant fall damage - aka death. I've tried many things, even holding the backup key to stay glued to the 'torch wall' all the way down but I still die, with the water brake in place.

Thanks for your help - usually we see all comments so it's not necessary to create new tickets if you want old ones reopened.

FYI: You don't need to link tickets, you can just write them out ("MC-52166") and they will be linked automatically.

Confirmed
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. If this has been done, we can reopen the issue.
Keep in mind that the "Resolved"-Status on this ticket just means "Answered", and that we are waiting for further information on whether this issue still exists or not. We will reopen it as soon as the requested information has been delivered.
Confirmed still a bug in 1.8.9
dropping from 78 to 10 is also fatal, 79-84 work as expected
Is this still an issue in the latest snapshot 16w44a? If so please update the affected versions.
This is an automated comment on any open or reopened issue with out-of-date affected versions.
Confirmed for 1.13-pre2. Wow this is strange. I found your issue by searching, because I had the same problem in my survival world.
But this issue looks somewhat abandoned
I will soon do some further research to what heights this applies and when this happens. Going to post this in this bug report
