Note: I've searched for this exact issue but have not found a ticket that describes what I'm seeing.
Unexpected Behavior:
When powering the second dropper in a line of droppers facing upward, with the bottom dropper containing one item, the number of droppers that item will move varies depending on the direction from which the Redstone activation came, as well as the world quadrant in which the dropper tower exists.
Example:
When powering the second dropper from the bottom of four droppers in a tower with
all droppers facing upward and
in the north-west quadrant of the world (quadrant containing (-1, -1)) and
with the bottom dropper containing one item and
Redstone signal coming from the south
the item will move into the fourth dropper from the bottom (the top dropper).
While, when powering the second dropper from the bottom of four droppers in a tower with
all droppers facing upward and
in the north-west quadrant of the world (quadrant containing (-1, -1)) and
with the bottom dropper containing one item and
Redstone signal coming from the west
the item will move into the third dropper from the bottom.
Table of Tests:
This table shows the nth dropper from the bottom to which the item will move after activation.
Redstone | World | Item |
|---|---|---|
North | SE (0, 0) | 2 |
West | SE (0, 0) | 2 |
South | SE (0, 0) | 3 |
East | SE (0, 0) | 3 |
North | NE (0, -1) | 3 |
West | NE (0, -1) | 3 |
South | NE (0, -1) | 4 |
East | NE (0, -1) | 4 |
North | SW (-1, 0) | 2 |
West | SW (-1, 0) | 2 |
South | SW (-1, 0) | 3 |
East | SW (-1, 0) | 3 |
North | NW (-1, -1) | 3 |
West | NW (-1, -1) | 3 |
South | NW (-1, -1) | 4 |
East | NW (-1, -1) | 4 |

I have attached a zip file of the world I used to test this behavior (Dropper_Test.zip) and a few screenshots of that world.

Does MC-11193 describe your issue?

I found MC-11193 before I submitted this ticket, and I did not think it was the exact same description of behavior. It seems that MC-11193 and this issue have in common that they are dependent on "From which location in the world was the redstone wire powered?" and "Where is the component located in the world?"
Upon further testing, I believe that MC-11193 and this report are caused by the same underlying issue.
When activating droppers with Redstone signal coming from the south in the North-East quadrant (when one would expect an item movement of 4 based on my previous description), the experience is different depending on the length of the Redstone wire and the location of the object (similar to the experience described in MC-11193).
For example: In this world: (
[media]), Restone wire length of 3 and 11 will cause the item in the dropper to end up in position 3 rather than position 4. Similarly, I experienced a different setup in the same quadrant and with the same direction where a Redstone wire length of 7 and 8 would move the item to position 3 instead of position 4.
I believe this could be the same underlying issue found in MC-11193, but affecting more than is described in that ticket.

This issue is fixed with the redstone experiments enabled in snapshot 24w33a.
This was tested using a recreation of the structure in the screenshots:

In my test, no matter the quadrant, the item always ended up in the second dropper from the bottom.
