MCPE-158609Currently, when you have a command block with: <redstone
needed> and with with a command like this for example “/testfor @a [r=5] ”, if you get the command to read true that you are within 5 blocks from it, while also turning off the command by breaking the redstone torch near it, the command block will be in a sort of locked state (You can see that it is outputting a true output when turned off if you have a comparator next to it pointing away, it will stay lit up). The only way to unlock the command block would be to update the state of the command block, giving redstone power back to the command block, or to build your machine in a different way to avoid this problem.Currently, when you have a command block with: <need redstone> <repeat> and with with a command like this for example “/testfor @a [r=5] ”, if you get the command to read true that you are within 5 blocks from it, while also turning off the command by breaking the redstone torch near it, the command block will be in a sort of locked state (You can see that it is outputting a true output when turned off if you have a comparator next to it pointing away, it will stay lit up).

I added a much simpler example through the video I attached. Hopefully it helps explain and be replicated easier! @GoldenHelmet IMG_1935.mp4

That video shows the command block working correctly. The command tests for a player within 5 blocks of the command block, and the command block is set to "Needs Redstone", so it only runs when it is powered.
This report is about the text on the lower right of the UI not matching the settings on the left. That happens whenever the command block has not run a command since the last time a player changed its settings. It's not a bug, because that text on the lower right is meant to be part of the "Previous Output" and to show the settings that were in use when the previous output was recorded. However, so many people get confused about what the text means that Mojang has decided to leave this report open so that it can be considered if they decide to update the command block UI.
