When pushing a redstone block with a sticky piston, it works normally sideways and downwards. However when pushing upwards, the piston 'locks' extended, until the redstone block is moved or broken.

This is different to the one you have grouped it under. This is for Redstone Blocks specifically, and works as normal with anything else. This should be left open as a new bug, because frankly, it is.

A redstone block is a power source, replace it with a normal block and put a lever ontop and you get the same bug, therefore duplicate.

There is a slight difference here in that the redstone blocks are designed to be pushed by pistons as part of circuits, whereas blocks with levers aren't. That makes this a little bit more important don't you think?
