[MC-3707] Blocks shorter than normal height and Ladders don't work

If you stand on soul sand or any other block shorter than a full block, walking up to a ladder won't let you climb it. You need to jump to start climbing it.

Confirmed. Just to clarify, while walking up to it won't automagically allow you to ascend the ladder, a quick jump gets you where you need to go.

I assume this is due to Soul Sand being shorter than other blocks?

Applies to all shorter than full blocks.

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w04b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
