Downwards flowing water does not appear to be flowing downwards when viewed through glass
Possibly a result of fixing MCPE-11140.
When downwards-flowing water is seen through glass, one would expect it to still be visually flowing downwards. However, it renders a still water texture, which should only appear if the water itself is not flowing.

Is this still an issue in the latest hotfix and/or beta?
Also affects Bedrock Edition, see MCPE-36563

Bedrock Edition equivalent of MC-219907.
The bug
Fluids that move sideways have a side texture that depicts the flowing texture moving down. This makes no sense as the fluid itself is not moving downwards - it moves sideways.
In addition, if beside glass, it displays a still texture, which is similarly counterintuitive due to it not being still (see also MCPE-36563).
How to reproduce
- Create a liquid flow that consists of a one-side stream to make this effect as clear as possible
- Look at the side of it
Expected results
The side texture would be flowing in the direction the fluid is.
Actual results
It always goes directly down, or, in the case of it being against glass, appears still.

Confirmed for 1.7.0.9 beta.
