[MCPE-236551] dispensers not convert glass bottle into water bottle and drops when ejected onto a block of water

When an empty bottle is dispensed, and all the dispenser slots are not filled, have a chance to returns to the dispenser.

It would be necessary to distribute the bottles among all the dispenser slots to avoid this; however, due to their random ejection nature, an extra quantity and constant checking would still be needed to prevent any slot from being completely filled.

Seems to work correctly. Dispenser only ejects filled water bottle when there are no spaces in it's inventory to store it.

Automatic bottle fillers generally use combination of dispenser and dropper for bottle feeding and a hopper to pull filled water bottles out - there are plenty of designs on youtube.

Yes, it can be understood as improvised solutions to deal with the situation, all related designs, which could be easily resolved with a few lines of code.

It is about consistency.

Dispenser works the same way with water bottles as it does with water buckets - after filling them with water it places them in inventory unless there is no space available.

Changing this behaviour would break a number of existing constructions.
