The XP orbs do not travel to the player as directly as they did before. They more frequently get stuck in hoppers even with carpets on top. Occasionally, an orb will fly around the player without being absorbed. I thought maybe I was being visited by "Tinkerbell" from Peter Pan!
It is possible that the flying orbs are from my furnace rather than from mobs.

I've had this happen several times just in my last play session. It seems to happen more frequently in the Nether while fighting on soulsand.
