I'm playing on 1.8 client, and this bug happens on my realms server too, but before 1.8.1 came out it seemed to be fine. There is no hitbox of the rail if there is a minecart on it. This bug makes me unable to make infinite storage in compact space.
Minecarts don't stack in the inventory, but now they don't stack even in the world! What a pity!
(I'm not sure if this a bug or a new feature, but anyways it's very bad)

Do not put 1.8 in the Affects Versions if the issue only affects 1.8.1, unless it can partially happen on 1.8.
Sonic, why minecarts with TNT shouldn't stack? Is it bad? And why other minecarts don't stack, if only ones with TNT shouldn't do it?
Lucas, it affects 1.8 all the time now. Even in single player.
@unknown: All minecarts behave the same way (same hitbox, size, physics etc) so if one changes they all have to be changed.
TNT minecart stacking was removed due to people stacking them to create large, nuclear like explosions (I think, if someone could find an official source that would be better). Also I believe that minecarts were never supposed to be stacked; it allows for cheats (like storing infinite items in a 1 block space).
No Sonic & Sonicwave, this was not a fix for minecart stacking. It is still perfectly possible. The problem here is that the minecart is physically larger than it looks, so when trying to aim at the rail, the minecart is in the way. You can still aim at the rail fine if it's on a slope.
Confirmed for
1.8.6 Minecart hitbox seems to end at the half of the rail hitbox, maybe that is the reason
WAI. This is to prevent Minecarts with TNT from stacking.
