Redstone dust under torch doesn't power connected block

If you place a torch above the redstone write one space away from the block you are trying to power the circuit will act as if it is disconnected from the block even if it is configured with other components to connect. Other signals further away will still reach the block and the torch above can power devices that are more than two blocks away.

I was using the Samsung note 3, actual minecraft version is 0.13.1 alpha
