Comparator + Minecart hopper on a detector rail is slow to update

Description
The instant variation of the contents of a minecart hopper on a detector rail, will produce a change in the redstone signal after an unusualy long delay.

Example
When you put something in an empty minecart hopper on a detector rail, the comparator will detect this change with a delay greater than 1 redstone tic.

In comparaison, when you put something in an empty hopper, the comparator will detect this change instantly and 1 redstone tic later, the comparator will ouput a True signal.

By the simple test in the attachment, we can hear with the note block that the delay of detection of change in the minecart hopper is substantially slower than the hopper.

Why this is important

  • This inconsistency affects redstone contraption by addind delay.

  • This Delay affects the accuracy of controls of automatic minecart contraption

  • This inconsistency can confuse new player learning redstone

Thanks for the support.

Can confirm for MC 1.12.1.

Confirmed for 1.13.1.

Still around in 1.15.2.
Forcing the comparator to update with something like an observer clock linked to a note block next to the comparator works as a temporary fix.
Don't forget to disable the clock when your system isn't running, though.

Confirmed in 1.16.1 and 20w28a.

Can confirm in 1.16.

Isn't related to the recent fix of MC-182868 or MC-190891 since this bug report was made when 1.9 was the recent released version of minecraft.

I can confirm this in 1.21 and attached a video demonstrating the bug.

As described in MC-276853, this delay is random in length.
