In minecraft, an observer should only triggered when a block is updated. Because of this bug, observers can be triggered when a minecraft world is loaded.
The bug can happen if the player places a container(e.g barrel) filled with items on the face of an observer. When the world is then reloaded, the observer will trigger.
This can cause issues for single-use redstone contraptions.
