I think, this is normal, because you are despawning for mobs(I know I explained wrong, but the overall are gave)
p.s. Sorry for my English, it is so bad :c

I updated the title, they despawn immediately...

Still intended.
Spectators don't count as players. No player -> No mobs.

Oh... Is there any way to prvent this from happening? Or do I have to use custom mabs with PersistenceRequired:true ? I know this page is for reporting bugs, but maybe you can still help me...

Naming the mobs with a name tag prevents them from despawning.
