Sometimes the chest tecture stays open after closing the GUI, however opening and closing it again will tend to re close the chests.

Somewhat related, if you open a barrel and view its inventory screen; wait for 4-8 seconds and you will hear the barrel-close sound effect even if you haven't close the barrel inventory screen.
Apparently fixed in 19w03c with the fix of MC-142521.
I can reproduce this in 19w03b. If you open a chest and remain in the chest inventory screen, between 4-8 second you will hear the chest-close sound effect. If you then press E to close the chest inventory, the chest remains visibly open. I was able to do this on three chests in one area; all stayed visibly opened. As long as you close the chest inventory screen before the 4-8 second delay, the close animation plays and the chest appears closed.
