I'm having a problem with farmers getting stuck in composters.
One wrinkle is my composters are embedded in slabs over water. Maybe the combination of slabs and water is confusing them.
I've had this village for about a week and had no problems.
Suddenly they were consistently getting stuck and spending the night in the composters. I started with three slabs and a composter over four blocks of water. The problem there was farm blocks were being destroyed by jumps. So I switched to having the composter surrounded by slabs. The water is the same. And I simply covered the dirt blocks with slabs. A composter surrounded by slabs is the configuration that has a problem.
Sometimes I will see farmers jump out if I am breaking slabs next to them. But, just as often, I have to complete the rescue and break the composter.
The only other detail is this is a destination village. I do not live here. I travel here. And it is subject to chunk loading during the day and night. There are four composters and farmers. By chance, each composter is located in a different chunk. And where the four chunks meet is located in the middle of the overall farm field. I've seen three farmers be affected by this simultaneously. I have no reason to believe the fourth is immune.
I've started using carpets to cover the composters. So, I hope to solve my problem with that.

I can confirm this bug. It only happens if there is water beneath both the composter and the slabs around it.
Perhaps it is related to MC-156022?
Can confirm in 20w51a. Water must be under the slabs in order to this to work.

Affects 1.17.1. Water only needs to be under the composter, not the slabs. This also works with similar blocks, such as stonecutters or End Postal Frames, but not snow layers or carpet, or trapdoors.

Affects 1.20.5 RC 2. Requesting ownership of this issue because of an inactive owner.

There is no reason to transfer the ownership. And, I would like the ownership transferred back to me. Changing the owner of an issue is unprofessional. If you want to comment then do that. If you want to close this bug then do that. Simply scrambling the metadata for an issue accomplishes nothing.
I am not an inactive owner. I reported the bug four years ago. And I have no obligation to Microsoft to shepherd their bug. If they want to ignore it then that is their problem.
Ownership transfer only gives someone else the permission to update the bug report for newer versions. Being the reporter of the bug report has no further implications. You're right that you have no obligation to do that, but if someone else wants to spend time to take that on, we don't want to deny them that. Due to the way the bug tracker works the only way to do that is to transfer ownership.
If you want to keep this bug report updated yourself for the future, we can return ownership back to you, but if you don't plan on doing that I don't see no reason to.
