First off. It's been in the game since 1.5
Okay - If you want to divide items up using a hopper chain, lets say for a furnace array (see attachments).
This is entirely possible, in fact it works flawlessly... UNTIL you reload the chunks.
What before divided a stack in to 8 in 8 furnaces, now gives one furnace 15 items and the rest around 7 - making it useless!
You can temporarily fix this issue, but it will eventually reoccur
I believe it is caused by a change in the priority of the hoppers, but it is pretty hard to recreate so i could not get closer to the source.

Is this still an issue in the current Minecraft Snapshot 15w46a or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
I believe this issue was resolved as of 1.8.
I can't figure out how to change the versions affected on my phone and I currently don't have a computer
I think I know what's happening. When the chunks turn into lazy chunks, for some reason the redstone stops updating but the hoppers still move items around.
