When standing above a chest, you can't open it.
When playing in my survival world, i tired to open a chest while standing above it and it didn't open. I expected it to open, similarly to how it does in the PC version. But this does not happen.
Steps To Reproduce:
1. Stand at 1 level higher than a chest where you are looking down at the top.
2. Try to open.
3. Nothing happens.
Included picture of how i found bug.

Do not remove this feature, it adds a bit of realism because it makes sense. If something is top of the chest it wouldn't open.
I was wrong. This does not work as expected. It has been reported previously MCPE-11769, and it has been identified as fixed in a future version. No we have no idea which version that is.

I can confirm this issue. We have been closing them as dupes of MCPE-11769 (wai) but we'll wait to hear further confirmation from the developers regarding shulker boxes specifically.

Also - there appears to be a long history of this not working (if it ever did).

Chests have been this way for some time in Bedrock, and the behaviour is currently as designed. (MCPE-11769) However! We're already working on achieving parity across versions where possible, and we're very keen to hear your requests or suggestions, so we'd encourage you to make a post at https://feedback.minecraft.net, or upvote an existing topic there.
If you're not sure whether your issue is a parity request or a bug, hopefully this article will help explain further: Parity Request Guide

This bug has been fixed and it should be implemented in the next release.
I actually like it. It makes minecraft more realistic
Still an issue on 0.14.3 and relates to
MCPE-11000Confirmed for 0.15.0 on Windows 10.
can not open a chest when on top of it in mcpe 0.15.1 beta build 1
This is a bug? I thought this was a feature. I hate it and am happy to hear its fixed but its weird that its a bug. I thought it was even in the update notes and everything
In the Java edition, only cats can sit on chests and prevent you from opening them. I'm not sure if the PE devs think that the same should apply to all mobs or not.
I don't think it should be removed I mean hasn't it been like this for several versions? I think it would've been removed by now
I think it should open, if we say it's 'bug', it's because we do not want to, right!
This has been confirmed by the developers as 'Working as Intended'

Does that mean it's actually a bug in the Java Edition?
@Jason
No, its not a bug in java. Some features are just different across platforms.
This was marked as "work as intended" but you guys literally just fixed it
