[MC-78329] Paintings not working with /entitydata command; can't change Motive tag

I have been trying to use the /entitydata command with paintings, so I can change the Motive tag.

I typed in the following command:
/entitydata @e[type=Painting] {Motive:Aztec2}
but the painting did not change. I tried it with another painting (different art), but the same thing happened, so I know that the original painting had the tag {Motive:Aztec2}.

Also, I am using 1.8, not 1.8.1, but the page won't let me submit with 1.8 in the box

Guess why ? Because 1.8 is outdated. Update to 1.8.3 !

Please force a crash by pressing F3 + C for 10 seconds while in-game and attach the crash report ([minecraft/crash-reports/crash-<DATE>-client.txt|http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/finding-minecraft-data-folder]) here.

I am using Optifine, does that matter?

Yes.
The use of any mod invalidates any ticket.

Sort of confirmed in 1.8.3. The motive does change, but the art doesn't update until you relog. The painting will also turn invisible if you try to change it to a painting of a different size. That issue is also fixed by a relog.
