If I have items in my toolbar when I pick up items from a furnace, it will delete the items from my toolbar and replace them.
I can't tell you how many swords and bows I have lost due to this glitch. Dozens, easily. I usually put swords in the first slot and bows in the last slot on the toolbar, and as far as I'm aware, I've only lost items from those slots.
The glitch is usually associated with a reordering of my toolbar. For example, if I have the bow in my last slot (9th slot left to right) and an empty space in slot 7, and then clear a stack of items from the furnace after completion, the smelted / cooked stack will end up in the last slot and the bow will be moved to slot 7.
I have found that if I empty up a slot in my toolbar, I can probably clear the furnace without losing any items, But carelessness always seems to bite me; I'll go to clear three furnaces of stacks of cooked meat and end up losing all of my enchanted weaponry.
This is highly aggravating. There's really no way for me to produce before and after pictures because i don't lose items every time. It may have something to do with having the same item in inventory already, and then clearing the furnace makes it try to stack and reorder the items. I only think this because I cook a lot of chicken, which I also keep on my toolbar (slot 8). But the glitch has happened when smelting iron and gold as well.
Please save my enchanted diamond weapons! Hard survival mode and I'm losing valuables to glitches 😞

It does look the same except it's on both the latest iOS and the latest Minecraft. I know this has been happening for months but I recently picked MC back up, and this crap is still happening.
I guess you're using lava as fuel. Since I stopped using coal and coal block which consuming so much time and resources, I tried to gather lava from the nether and smelt my "overworld" resources. However. I've seen my tools is disappearing. I didn't give to this any intersting. but after i lost flint and steel in the nether which is being in the first slot always. I didn't be able to get out. Luckly i found a chest in a Nether Fortress and found some flint and steel.
Youcef,
I am not using lava as fuel. This happens with regular coal.
To replicate this bug, fill up all 9 of your slots with items. Pay attention to make sure you would notice if they're missing.
Then put in items in 3 different furnaces, all cooking / smelting at the same time.
Then after a couple of minutes, clear the finished products from one furnace. Pay attention to your toolbar and don't move anything.
Clear another furnace, inspect toolbar again.
Clear third furnace and inspect again.
If you don't lose any items then we must be on different MC versions. It happens to me every day that I play minecraft. The items are not being dropped, smelted, etc. They are being cleared from my inventory as I empty items from the furnace
Agree with Specialistol,
this duplicates MCPE-18617
Yeah it's a dupe of MCPE-18617. I'll rework its title so that you can easily find it.
Seems related to, or same as MCPE-18617.
