Retracting piston flickers

I have discovered another problem: Sometimes (I cannot figure out the exact circumstances), an extended piston will lose the texture of the arm and head, just leaving a base. The block that has been moved will also lose its texture in this case. I'm not sure if the two glitches are related, but it seems likely.

Do you want me to report this as a separate issue?

This was already reported in MC-62178 which is a duplicate of MC-62166

Alright. Just making sure.

You can see how the piston, piston head and the moving block flicker in the attached video.

I can confirm this.
It is even worse when the cmoputer is slow/stressed (dont know if its serverside or clientside sinde that matters though)
Beleve it or not, but this have some huge implications when it comes to some builds like elevators, traps or anything else that requires something to be held in place, since you fall through them and mobs can glitch through them when they flicker.

Confirmed for 14w32d

cmon it is not fixed in 1.8 pre-release1.

You're right. Didn't look long enough.

It is definitely better but not 100% fixed.
