The fact that it has always been this way is no excuse. So please, reopen this perfectly good report on a nonsensical and inconvenient bug within Minecraft.

Is this still an issue on the latest snapshot 16w44a?

(Description updated by Zeb.)
The bug
If you place a single rail of any type (not adjacent to any other rails), it always faces north-south instead of the way you're facing. The behavior should match that of other directional blocks which are oriented based on which way you are facing when you place them.

Duplicate of MC-791. Please use the search function to check before posting in the future.
Duplicate of MC-791. At present this is considered the intended behaviour.
Feature request. MC-791
This is a repost of MC-791 for Bedrock Edition.
Summary:
If you place a single rail of any type (not adjacent to any other rails), it always faces north-south instead of the direction you're facing.
The behavior should match that of other directional blocks, which are oriented based on which way you are facing when you place them.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Place a rail while facing east-west
- Place a rail while facing north-south
Observed Results:
The rail always faces north-south.
Expected Results:
The rail should be oriented based on which way you are facing.

Notes:
In this version MC-791(Rails are not placed in the direction the player is looking)
is still not completely fixed, I have taken note and recorded a video of this bug.
https://youtu.be/ONDwbzwAfH0
Is this still the case in 19w42a? (considering the fix of MC-791)
its a common feature, since there are rails in minecraft
It's a feature request, not a bug report.
This is not a bug, but a feature request, and should be posted on the MC forums here.
How is this a feature request? I can only see this being a bug.
As it stands, the current behaviour of rail placement has always been using this mechanic. This report is indicating that the placement should not follow this, but work differently. For that reason, it is a feature request. I believe there are other bug reports outlining how the current placement method is problematic, and as such could be a bug, but this report does not.
The fact that it has always been this way is no excuse. Making things work differently is the very essence of bugfixing. As for this report not outlining how this could be problematic, that's because it's already indirectly implied.
So please reopen this perfectly good report on an utterly nonsensical and outright inconvenient bug within Minecraft. (Don't forget to update the affected versions if you do so.)
Try looking at the status; it says postponed (meaning "will be fixed later") not resolved.
Could you please just update the status to "reopened"? Don't postpone any longer.
Vexor64, postponed means "it will be fixed in the future, not now". Do you have any info about it being fixed soon?
I give up in trying to persuade you. How do I become a moderator?
The developers use Postponed to indicate an issue will have the fix applied in a later version that does not yet exist. It differs from the Fixed status as this one is given a version number with which it is associated. Once the version in question is added to the bug tracker, at that time the developers can change the status accordingly. And just to clarify, resolution statuses are first and foremost intended for the developers and their internal systems. Regardless which status is publicly displayed, the developers are indicating that this issue is one which will be corrected in a later release.

What i bug here? The description isnt very clear. When I place rails next to others, they just connect.
That's technically a rail's function itself, stop spamming a problem that someone would never complain it
I don't know what you mean. I asked for clarification what this report is about, since I see no bug with rail placement. The report claims:
But that is not true, it does neither of those. Instead, it faces in the direction of the other rail. Or a curve towards two rails if there are two next to it.
Fabian Röling Read the description very carefully:
"If you place rails not next to another rail of any type, it always faces north-south instead of the way you're facing."
The issue is that when any type of rail is placed by itself, it always faces the same direction. The description is definitely confusing, though. I have updated the description to be more clear.
Confirmed for 19w02a
It seems that the newest update didn't completely fix this bug, their is still some issues, I have recorded those issues I encountered and I uploaded it here: https://youtu.be/ONDwbzwAfH0
It very interesting, it seemingly breaks at random.
In that case, please create a new ticket.
Thank you, I have now made a separate ticket linking the video as evidence.
