While building a ladder to climb out of a hole, I found that my player hitbox was interfering with ladder placement while I was hanging off a ladder directly below where I wanted to build up.
I'm getting a 504 error while trying to attach a screenshot, so see:

A ladder I attempt to place with my cursor in that position jumps right back into my inventory. It will only place if I climb down a block, or hang at the far edge of the area in which I can hang on a ladder.
This placement behavior does not occur in 1.7.4 and previous. It's kind of irritating, but not game-stopping.

Still a bug in 14w10c.
Issue: Stack a column of rock and place ladders while climbing. Ladder cannot always be placed while player is close to column. Sliding down or back will allow ladder to be placed.
Was building tower, could not place any ladders without moving back or down. Subsequent attempts to duplicate this were very random. Four 25 block towers and it only happened 3 times.
Actually, I may not be facing this anymore in 14w11b. I commented above after it happened at least once, but I have not reproduced it since.
Also, I see now that this issue is duplicated by an earlier serial number. That is strange, as I did search "ladder" before I originally created this ticket, and scanned through all of them. Maybe something got lost around the bugtracker migration. I don't know.
This position was not valid for placing a ladder. It kept popping back into my inventory. Was playing as a client on a localhost server.
Is this still a concern in the current Snapshot 14w08a or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
