MC-5736The toggling of the comparator does nothing.
The toggle feature of the Comparator block is not working. I have tested any direction, the signal strength of the output is always the same as the strength of the input. It doesn't subtract either.
The one-clock in the wkbde.png image seems to work, though.

Toggling does not increase signal on comparator.
Toggled state is now "subtraction" mode. In this mode, O=A-B. You're giving or A but no B, and A-0 == A.
For me it doesn't subtract either. I have input A which is 14 and input B which is 12. The output is always 14 even when I toggle the comparator. It should be 2 when the comparator is toggled (subtracted: Output = A - B)
@Robin: Yes, I can confirm that.

This seems to work though.
B needs to be provided with a type of diode (repeater or comparator).
So the toggling is useless and only the block type of the input changes the function?
How will that work as a repeater or comparator will always provide full redstone output? I haven't worked out a single layout where switching the torch on or off would change anything output-wise.
No.
A == Input from front.
B == Strongest input from side given through another comparator.
O == Output from back.
Repeat mode (Default):
O = A
Subtract mode (Right click):
O = B - A
You can only provide B using another comparator pointed towards the side of this comparator, much like you would lock a repeater.

A comparator will only ever provide full output if you're giving it full input.
Ah, I exchanged B and A. So it's like an analogue inverter. It would be nice if you didn't need a repeater and could use different values for B.
You can use whatever value for B you want. Use a comparator instead of a repeater so that you keep the signal.
Thank you! Now I got it
So toggling the torch only affects the output if another comparator points at the comparator? That doesn't seem to be very intuitive. Redstone stuff is complicated enough already. Why does the B signal need a comparator there? Why can't you just point redstone dust at it which has different signal strengths on it's own?
@Jonathan Haas: That's what I'm thinking now. But it's just a snapshot, so ...
