game gliches when render distance is changed

When you change the render distance to a higher setting, the game keeps running without lag but the chunks glitch and change each time you move. This only happens to me on version 14w31a and it happens each time I change the render distance, if you put the render distance back to its initial setting the glitch disappears and the game runs normally.
version 1.7.10 does NOT have this problem for me.
