The bug
Sometimes when a lily pad is placed on water next to a block, the water source block it is placed onto disappears.
How to reproduce
Either create or find a water source that is at least 2m deep at its edges.
Place lily pads on the edges
→ Sometimes water level will drop by 1m

It seems if you place the lily pad by clicking the wall next to the water source then it drops the water level by one block but if you click on the surface of the water aiming downwards then it places the lily pad on the surface of the water.

Re-opening as issue is still present in 1.4.4

Still occurs in 1.4.5

Still occurs in 1.4.6

Still occurs in 1.4.7

Added a screenshot. If, after having removed the lilypad on the screenshot, you put the lilypad above purple line->water breaks, below purple line->lilypad correctly placed. Only works on edge water blocks if the water is at least 2 block deep.

Still a concern in 1.7.5, 14w08a and 14w10c

I don't know if this was mentioned before, but it happens every time when you point at a block that is next to the water. Either at the little bit that's visible above water or the rest below.

Confirmed for 1.10.1.

Confirmed for 1.10.2.

Apparently this got fixed in some of the 1.13 snapshots. Can no longer reproduce it in 17w50a.
