MCPE-17271Redstone torches dropping off still
Mass redstone torches randomly falling off sides of blocks if I exit the world and reopen it, doesn't do it all the time but when it does it... it does it with style.
I assumed it was only happening on chunk edges but this last massive redstone project has proven otherwise, this has been happening since way back when redstone arrived. I have tried to reproduce it but failed.
over 200 torches have fallen off this time

What I expected to happen. When you place a Redstone torch so it connects to the side of a block, it will stay connected even if I leave the chunk the blocks is in but keep the chunk the torch is in.
What happens is the redstone torch drops itself as an item as If i broke the block it was connected to.
To reproduce: Find a chunk boundry and place a block that a redstone torch can be placed on the side of on 1 side ofthe boundry, place the torch on the other side of the boundary so it connect to the other block but is in a different chunk. Fly away some distance so that both chunks become unloaded. Walk back to the place where you had the torch. You will see that the torch has dropped itself as an Item.

Please limit comments to only new information regarding the issue.
Managed to reproduce this... create a 16x16 wall of blocks with redstone torches attached to sides of those blocks, build another wall in front of the redstone torches using redstone lamps as shown in image.
Behind I Created a repeater loop with a button to light the bottom row to see if it was anything to do with the on or off status but this test proved this is not relevant
I believe this is a duplicate of
MCPE-11477. Yell at me (or any other moderators) if you disagree.I disagree, this happens even if no where near a chunk edge, and it's random, does not always happen. I tried leaving the area as described in -11477 but this did not cause the issue, exiting the game several times was the only way to reproduce this.
To spend a week building mass redstone circuits only for it to break is not funny, in fact it's so annoying I'm wondering why I even bother even playing this game and then the issue is dismissed after informing you!!! please escalate and fix this ASAP.
Okay. I reopen the ticket then. Thank you for your detailed information.
I went back into my world (who wants to be a millionaire) after closing it in frustration and it is clear that the whole chunk has dropped the torches
the next exit/re-open caused the rest of the torches to drop off in the other chunks either side
No matter what I do i can't reproduce this bug.
This is a bulk resolve of issues that haven't been updated to 0.16.0+ yet. Please comment below (To open the ticket) and update your affected versions. If you cannot reproduce the bug, please write in the comments so we can resolve it as "Cannot Reproduce". Thank You!
(note from original poster)
This issue IS STILL affected by ALL current versions of minecraft pocket edition, there are loads of issues that being highlighted like issue 11477 that help to re-produce this error. I have now stopped using minecraft necause anything redstone I make breaks due to said bugs... which until fixed leaves this game a complete waste of my time.
I reported this 8 months ago and you have ignored it... wrong move,.. even my kids have stopped bothering to play it now.
Listen to your community... go fix issue 11477 and maybe you will find the answer to this issue too. bye all.
I've tried to replicate this several times and simply cannot reproduce it. I even tried filling 40 sets of 100x100 walls with redstone torches then reloading reveral times. Since 1.2 Build 5 none are falling.
Does this bug still affect 1.2 beta?
I tested it in the 1.2 beta and was unable to reproduce, even on chunk borders.
