In some cases, on SMP when inside a protected area (an area in which the destruction and placement of blocks is prohibited) half-slabs (stone half-slabs tested) could have another slab placed atop the existing one to create a 'whole slab'. This was not reverted by the server and remained there. However, other blocks could not be modified in seemingly random areas under the same conditions.
This server was most probably using a plugin to protect this area (WorldGuard) and was a Bukkit server. This server was a creative server and half-slabs were used to border plots.
This ticket is invalid as it relates to a modded or 3rd party client/server.
Any non-standard client/server build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the plugin creator.
This site is for addressing issues related to the base unmodded MineCraft.
