Unexpected water flow (not spreading)

I believe I have placed water in such corners many times and it always merged and filled the space in a square, but what is this?!

Does it have anything to do with me first placing the center sources (those one level below)?

I have seen water not spreading before, but only in caves where the water was flowing from top, believing it is some loading/generation glitch. I have seen some strange water flows when trying to mine obsidian - sometimes the water just chooses to flow in one direction, but I really do not see any pattern here (only suspecting that it chose to flow towards the lower water-sources in the centers of the edges of the square, when I started placing the upper corner sources). Is there some preferrence to flow towards something instead of spreading?

I have removed all the water sources, put stone in the edge-centers and placed single water source and this is the result (makes no sense to me):

That is single watter source (left-top), I trully have no idea what is going on.

If there is a way for water to flow down to a lower block, it will only flow toward the closest lower block and then down off the edge. You should be able to get it to flow the way you want if you fill in all of the lower level with temporary blocks before placing any water sources. Then remove the temporary blocks to have it flow down to the lower level.

OK, thank you, can probably be closed as "per design". Is there some web page / documentation I can read description of such mechanics?

The Minecraft Wiki has lots of information about Minecraft mechanics. Be sure to read carefully when there are differences between Bedrock and Java. Also note that the Wiki is not official Mojang information and so if the game does not behave exactly as stated in the Wiki it is not necessarily a bug, though it may be.
