Since 1.8 version server can no longer "force" player to open CommandBlock in specific location by using "open tile" packet. There is probably some kind of "instanceof" check in client that not allows it anymore(opens sign GUI instead of CommandBlock). I was using command block as GUI element that allows me to get any kinds of inputs without using chat. I know that you have some kind of policy to ignore such bugs, cause it stands on modified server, but only you can fix it, so please don't just change it to "won't fix" without even checking. It shouldn't be so hard to fix it, only couple lines of editing to make it back as it was. Thanks.

Doesn't matter if server is modified, it using default client that contains this bug. Modified servers are like 95% percent of total servers. Nothing special about this bug, so I'm sure Mojang could easy fix it in minutes and add it with next version. It won't have any affect to normal servers/clients anyway, but modified servers could use this to improve game, use this as input GUI element. I think Mojang wouldn't be so popular if they wouldn't care about all of their product users.
This is really more of a feature add request since this feature has never been designed to be used that way.
And again... Invalid... Where/how should i ask to make this change??? How many issues/feature requests i have to make to get some attention to my request?
For feature suggestions or changes please see: Minecraft Suggestions on Reddit.
why should mojang help you with a modified server?
