Hi, I have just raised a report on
But then I read tha tis has been closed and won't be reopened? Can you advise if I need to enter a new report please, or leave it on the one that seemed the most similar? Thank you.
I have had 4 villagers despawn in a week, 3 today. They are converted natural zombie villagers (not from a spawner). They were named, and traded with. Trapped in a one block space and have not interacted with any other mob.

Hi again - I couldn't find the add button and had placed the details on the other report prior to writing this one - I have copied them over for you here;
Observed results - I have a 12+k day survival world and over the last week I have had 1 villager (named and traded with) disappear. He was trapped in a one block area linked to bed and workstation. I have just logged on and returned to the trading area to find 3 more have disappeared - also traded and named in the same set up. I have been Afking for a while lower down and logged out, plus moved out of the area, so I am not sure when it happened. These were also converted natural zombie villagers not regular ones nor ones that I forced into a zombie state, or from a spawner. You can see the missing three [spaces] here. The villager marked [B] is the replacement for the other one. I have been losing villagers a lot in another trading area but I assumed they were somehow falling through the walls when waking up into the farm below as I had seen a couple in there. But now wondering if this is a problem with them just disappearing as well. Bedrock v 1.21.51 Thank you Cjsgoose
I do not know how to reproduce the issue, it is something I have noticed, but don't know why it happens.
What should happen - Villagers that are named should not despawn, villagers that are traded with should not despawn, I believe zombie villagers converted should not despawn. I have done all three of these.
