I would have sandstone and want to make smooth sandstone. I go to the crafting table with a few hundred sandstone. When I hit the crafting table the number over smooth sandstone is, say, 45. I hit the craft button for smooth sandstone. It does create the smooth sandstone, but the number over the smooth sandstone stays at 45. I can make all of my sandstone into smooth sandstone, but that number stays at 45 until I leave the crafting table. I have no idea if I hit the create button enough until I either check my inventory or go back in to the crafting table.

In 0.15.4 there is a similar problem regarding stone bricks. When you have a stack of mossy stone bricks in a slot higher than one having regular stone bricks, whenever you try to craft a mossy stone brick the game consumes a vine and a mossy stone brick instead of a regular one, wasting vines for no reason.

In MCPE the smooth sandstone recipe for both colors of sandstone include sandstone, smooth sandstone, and chiselled sandstone. That is what causes the number of times it can be crafted to not decrease. if you have smooth sandstone in a slot higher or to the left in your inventory it will continuously recraft the same smooth sandstone blooks. By the way, in MC(PC) 1.10 smooth sandstone can only be crafted using regular sandstone.
