Doing a specific procedure to signs will make them ghost blocks, which will disappear after you reload the map. Since it's hard to explain the bug, I made a little map which tells you exactly how to reproduce it.
Just follow the instructions.

No, this doesn't duplicate MC-66425. This is a different glitch. Whoever flagged this, did you check the map that shows you the bug first? I doubt it. Also this glitch only happens to signs (as far as I can tell), not to "polished granite" or something like that…

Linked the correct one.

I'm sorry, that's also not the right one. Please, before you flag my issue, read through the text and try out the map. Please don't assume what this bug is.

Are you still there?


This bug happens to only signs. MC-62166 happens to all blocks.

Exactly. That's why the two should be kept seperate.

No chance, they are mods.
They do what they want and since mojang is too stingy to actually hire a full payed employee who knows what he does, nothing will change.
I think we should report this whole fact as a bug.
Solution:
Hire a qualified person, who is trained for this job (payment based work should raise the quality).
The employee sorts bugs regarding priority and actually assigns it to a developer.
He has contact to the mojang team and asks them if needed whether bugs are dupes/invalid

Exactly what I thought.
How are we gonna get these bug separated though? It may be hard, but this bug is quite an important one to be honest. Re-post it?
