The Bug
Wall signs have a small gap between them and the block they are placed on. It's not a huge issue, but it looks odd.
Steps to Reproduce
Place down a sign on a wall.
Look closely at where the sign connects to the wall.
Observed Behavior
Wall signs float slightly in front of the block that they're supported by.
Expected Behavior
Wall signs would not float slightly in front of the block that they're supported by. Instead, they should be properly attached to the block that they're on.
Potential Fix
This could be fixed by converting wall signs to use a block model, and only using entity rendering for the text, to bring them closer in line with other blocks.

This gap prevents Z-fighting between the backside of the sing and the face of the block its attached to 😉
btw: i noticed this a long time ago in beta 1.6
This gap never really bothered me, don't think it's a bug but if the gap can be tweaked, go ahead! 🙂
Is this actually invalid? Seems like an oversight to me. Dunno why it would be intentional behaviour. If this is re-opened, it affects 1.14 and 1.14-pre4.
This actually allows you to write on the back of a placed wall sign.
Never mind, the hitbox actually extends all the way to the supporting wall. So this bug is purely visual and has no effect on sign editing.
While this is a bug, it allows for some cool secret messages. while I was able to write on the back on macOS by positioning my crosshair just right, but you can just use a bottom slab, write on the back, and convert that slab to a full block by placing another slab
And signs on fences have a huge gap.
