Transferring items to Certain Containers is Buggy
[Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) Update:
In 0.16.0 on touchscreen, this seems to affect all containers including chests.
Tested on Samsung TabPro SM-T520 in Creative mode
When transferring a stack of items to a Hopper, dropper or dispenser, the items don't reliably move to the container.
Examples
- If trying to transfer half a stack of arrows to a dispenser, when you release halfway through holding the item, the progress bar continues animating until fully green, but nothing actually moves to the container
- When holding the item to transfer a whole stack, only some of the items transfer, or none at all.
- Tapping a stack will transfer one item, but double tapping will fill the transfer bar, but none will move across. (the transfer bar then doesn't disappear)
- When holding a stack to transfer it, the transfer bar can move around following finger movements, and will then sit out of place (see screenshot #2)

Moving to MCPE-12562 due to better description.
Luis Robles, MCPE-12562 is only slightly related to this. It's not a duplicate.
Can someone please reopen this? It's mislabeled as Duplicate while it's not, because:
MCPE-12562is about moving items manually from player's inventory to dispenser.- This one is about moving items automatically from hopper to dispenser.

Thanks for the report. This issue is well known and is being tracked in MCPE-12562.
It seems that by default some of the settings are set to maximum, which could be the cause of the lag.
Please follow these steps:
- From the start page, choose Settings

- Tap Show Advanced Settings
- Move the Render Distance slider down to the minimum

Confirmed, when you release your finger at the middle green bar while drag/scroll the inventory up/down.
Updated - bug also affects hoppers
Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Android 5.1.1 Version: 0.14.0 Beta 3
Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Android 5.1.1. I made a YouTube video about it.
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpM4TuA8rUY
same thing here on Samsung galaxy alpha. loading hoppers and dispensers, when I let go of the long press while loading them, the green bar keeps going as if I'm pressing still, but nothing is transferred.
Same on Kindle fire hd.
Build 5 is out. This bug is fixed. Also the hopper bug is fixed.
It works a bit better, but it still doesn't work with large stacks.
This bug affects 14.0 build 1-5 on my device also i discovered bug on build 5 that TNT logo is tilted on 3rd person view and igniting flint and steel
Yeah they said they fixed it, but it doesn't. It was hard to make a tutorial.
I would think they would have fixed this by now, but no.
I would think they would have fixed this by now, but no.
Fixed in 0.14.0 build 6
Finally!!!!
Still exists in build 6, see
MCPE-13393.They don't act like chests, but I have had no trouble transferring items to dispensers, hoppers and droppers in build 6.
bug and it needs to be fixed please it really annoying ok here it is when playin and it rains any block or item you have in your hand it glitches through the actual block next to you or any object its been happen since 0.12.1 and i would be very apreciated if its fixed for build 7 (if theres a build 7) please fix mojang bug is hand glitches through block when it rains (touch controls) thanks mojang
On 0.14.0 Windows 10, the shift clicking items into containers works perfectly, but if holding left click, the progress bar can still be moved around,
Still affects 0.14.1.
The progress bar can still be moved around when transferring items to certain containers. 0.15.0 Realms Alpha build 2
Still in MCPE 0.14.3, iOS 9.2.1, 9.3, 9.3.1, 9.3.2, iPod Touch 6th gen
Affects 0.15.0 build 1. It just shows the solid green bar again and the items don't transfer.
When transferring items you see the solid green bar but the items don't transfer.
According to
MCPE-15750also affects 'horse inventories'.Reopening as of
MCPE-16697Just a note on transferring items, if you open the gui of a hopper that is transferring items, it looks like the number of items is not decreasing, but remains stationary. If you exit the hopper and reenter, you can see the number has decreased. This relates to
MCPE-16696This affects normal chests in 0.16.0 also on Android devices. The transfer bar can be moved, and tapping a single item to transfer it is very slow/laggy.
confirmed to work in realms to, takes forever to move a stack
Since the update using chests to add or remove items is now sluggish/slow and sometimes fails altogether. if you take you finger off too early or too late the item removal just doesnt work whihc makes it a hit and miss each time you use them. all we do is build house and castkle and so we use a lot dirt clay brick and blocks etc this is very time consuming now.
Since the 0,16.1 update the problem is still apparent on both realms and single player.
same here on 0.16.1 (started on 0.16) - samsung galaxy tab pro, cyanogenmod 12.1
solution: keep finger steady when longpressing, if inventory moves slightly out of place described behaviour...
This is also effecting the Amazon tablet.
This appears fixed in 1.0.0 full release.
Transferring items seems much faster and more smooth.
The green transfer bar can still be moved slightly if you move your finger whilst holding the stack of items, but it is not enough to be a problem.
