What I expected to happen was...:
Using a flint and steel in a dispenser toward a portal with an irregular (1.7+ only) size will activate the portal.
What actually happened was...:
After the puff of smoke nothing happened and the flint and steel durability didn't change.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a portal with an irregular size, like 3*5.
2. Place a dispenser with a flint and steel towards it.
3. power the dispenser.

@StevenNL2000, if I'd use a dropper or put it in the way of the portal it'd be dispensed. Nothing happens except for a hiss of smoke. I reproduced it at CMP.
You should have indicated that this happened in multiplayer. Also don't forget it could be caused by server lag.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. If this has been done, we can reopen the issue.

Cannot confirm. The portal gets activated and the flint and steel loses durability. Make sure that you are using a dispenser instead of a dropper, and make sure that the dispenser is not in the way of the portal!
