(The linked bug explains that signs cause drowning effect also (bug), that's why your breathing station setup doesn't work.)

Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy Tab S. Android 5.0.2
Well, It makes sense when you suffocate you will lose an air. But it doesn't make any sense when your head are nearby or not inside the block, e.g:
Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy Tab 3v (SM T116 NU) with Android Kitkat 4.4.4
Also happens on sign block and it'll look like players die by drowing because of that, but we die by suffocating. Kinda weird.
Confirmed on my Galaxy Tab S running android 6.0.1
Fixed in 0.15.90.8
oops still affects lava
Rodrigo do you mean that you lose air when submerged in lava or also when near lava but not in it?
I would expect that even with fire resistance, you still cannot breath when submerged in lava. But perhaps that is not the case in PC?
rplatham When submerged in lava. But I do not know. Only I mentioned this because it is in the list in the description of the issue.
The drowning effect now only happens when swimming in lava when completely submerged. To test use fire resistance. When you swim in lava you will see the water bubbles as if you're drowning.
Also affects fence,fence gate an trapdoor
@[~nikolabojanic] - Have you updated to 0.15.90.8? They (should) have been fixed.
Affecting 1.0.3.0 (swimming in lava does show the oxygen bar, but is this confirmed as a bug?)
Lava drowning bug still present in 1.0.4.0
Affects 1.0.4.1.
I should mention that this also affects mobs as well, not just the player.
Affects 1.0.4.11.
But it doesn't matter if it's water or lava- lava will suffocate you just like water will. There's no air in lava.
Reopening - as of 1.2.5.52, bubbles no longer appear when submerged in lava (with fire resistance potion) but you will still drown and die after x amount of time.
(The death message is "[Player] suffocated in a wall")
Also appears when you're sufficating.
Still affects 1.6.0.1
Still affects 1.6.0.8
This also affects whenever you are suffocating in blocks.
Idk if this is arguable but the barrier block as well
I think the lava suffocation should be kept because it makes sense. How are you supposed to be able to breath when you're submerged in a pile of molten rock?
This bug still affects 1.9, and now also applies to slime blocks!
I have also suffered from the lava drowning bug myself in survival, not cool that no matter how much fire rez and fire protection you have, you still need water breathing and respiration in order to not drown. in lava. 😐
Still affects 1.11.4
affects 1.13.0.1
affects 1.13.0.2
drowning in lava is working as intended
Drowning in lava was not intended. Now fixed in 1.16.0.51 Beta
It's still not fixed in the latest beta.
This issue needs to be reopened, it still affects 1.16.20
I cannot reproduce in vanilla in 1.16.20. I do not get an air meter in lava in survival mode. If you do, please check that it isn’t due to an add-on, and provide a video or test world.
I am still unable to reproduce this bug myself, but I attached a clip of silentwisperer demonstrating the bug on a livestream. Truly Bedrock is on 1.16.20.
I have this bug as well. I drown in lava in the nether.
