When I placed down a piston and it was powered by a Redstone torch,I expected that when I destroyed it that it would disappear as I was in creative mode however the item was dropped as if I was in survival mode.
To repeat this glitche place a piston down in creative mode,power the piston using any kind of Redstone such as a torch or a switch, while still in creative mode destroy the extended arm of the piston and you will see that the piston item will drop

what the hell do you mean by that?
Cannot reproduce in 1.5.1 this should be marked as fixed in 1.5.1
Place a piston, power it, destroy the extended arm. Piston drops as item.
i can confirm that this is still a bug affecting 1.5.1
Yes i have the same problem in the version 1.5.1
Still in 13w19a
Still in snapshot 1.6.1.
oh come on mojang, this shouldn't be so hard to fix. You fixed the doors too right?
While this is being fixed, I'd like to ask one more time why can not one obtain pistons (ID 29 or 33) via pick block from extended piston arms blocks (ID 34) yet, esp. in creative mode, as I wrote earlier [MC-15099] (and was misunderstood, probably).
This bug are in 1.6.1 (The horse update) too!
i have made a youtube video about it! 😃
how do you download this???

Bug has made a return in 14w33c but only using setblock or fill. Also appears in any gamemode.
I'm not sure if this should be reopened or just start with MC-67641 clarifying setblock as the culprit.
I'm not sure if this is reported for PC or mcpe 0.15.0, and I don't want to repost the same bug, but it happens the same in 0.15.0 update.

I don't know if there is such system, but I think minecraft must have a better block destroy recursion :
for now it seem that your piston is like broken by natural reasons since you broke it in creative.
so I think the extended part of the piston must destroy the base by giving the "reason" when it is broken.
