The Wiki says that pointed dripstone should grow to a maximum length of 7, and should grow a stalagmite on a solid block 11 below.
In the current version, the stalactite continues growing to 8 blocks (if the stalagmite underneath is broken) and then stops generating stalagmites even if there is room on an unobstructed solid block underneath it.
At length 1-7, the stalagmite is generated correctly on the block underneath.

This issue still exists in 1.17.41.
I was testing a farm design that would shift the blocks under the stalagmites and then harvest the pointed dripstone with water dispensers. It would let the stalactites grow down to 7; and the player could harvest the stalactites manually if desired.
But by growing to 8 and stopping, this makes the concept unusable.
I can copy the design to a world download if that would be helpful.
