[MCPE-139141] Villager trades stop changing when you leave the area

I set up a villager trader. I place the lectern block, and usually break the lectern until I get the right trade. If I leave the area during this process, or log out at any point, the trades remain the same as the last shown trade and the villager no longer swaps trades, even though I haven’t traded with the villager. I tested this on several villagers, and it’s consistent.

also I’m not clear what version this is on, I have a PS4 and am using the latest bedrock version which is 1.17 (and plus some amendments as I have installed all updates that were rolled out)

Are you sure the villagers are still linked to the same workstation? Do they show storm particles when you break the lectern?

I am 100% certain that these villagers were linked to their specific workstation on each occasion. When I tried to replicate this bug with several villagers, one at a time, I removed the ‘failed’ villager and their workstation from the area each time so there would be no cross attachment. I even tried putting them into different slots in the area, in case it was a location issue. Each villager lost their trade when the workstation was broken, and took up their same trade, with the green particles each time they reconnected. For example, I couldn’t get one villager to change from Fortune III, another from Luck of the Sea II.

My trader area is within a chunk and not crossing borders, verified with chunkbase.

I am certain that each villager had not been traded with previously as they came from a villager breeder. I am also certain that I didn’t trade with them at the stage of placing them into the trade area, as I didn’t keep anything in my inventory, so there could be no mistakes.

I am also playing vanilla survival, realms, no mods. To demonstrate this issue would take a long video hence the lack of attachments.
