Does not affect 1.11.0.4 beta. fixed
*FIXED IN 1.11*
What should happen: Mesa Plateau F generates the usual 20-30 block tall and flat plateau with forests scattered throughout.
What happens instead: Only a red sand flatland generates with sparse mountains found in a regular mesa. This bug exists in 1.2.10.
Summary: Mesa Plateau F generates a regular mesa instead of the usual plateaus found in a regular Mesa Plateau. You can still find the usual forest of trees if the mountain generates high enough, but is very rare. Mesa Plateau F M and the regular Mesa Plateau generate correctly. ALL seeds I checked have the same bug. Without an F3 menu screen, hard to reproduce bug since I can't view the biome I am in in the base game. You have to use an external program.
I regenerated the seed in 1.2.10, went out, back in, found the biome, still bugged. No mods, nothing, only the base game.
Steps to reproduce
1. In MCPE 0.9.0, generate any mesa seed.
Note any Mesa Plateau Fs found
2. In MCPE 1.2.10, generate any mesa seed, compare with 0.9.0
Steps to reproduce (Alternate way) (recommend this way)
1.In MCPE 1.2.10 generate any mesa seed
02:00. Use any dev tool to view what biome you are in (F3 screen or dev tool)
2b. Generate full mesa, save map, use any external program, dev tool, or mcpe viz, to view the biomes
*seed: 306959825 X1800 Z0 infinite world default worldgen.
*1734483989 is the other seed.

Also still an issue for 1.2.9 on my iPhone SE. Hope this gets fixed soon or at least confirmed by a mod to being an issue.
Edit: Affects 1.5.2
This bug has been reported to our internal bug tracker for further testing and a possible fix (no specific date can be provided).
As mentioned in the comments this was fixed in the 1.11.0.1 BETA and subsequent 1.11 release per the below
World Generation
Mesa Plateau biomes now generate more like those in the Java Edition
Is this confirmed to still be an issue in 1.2?
