When returning from the Nether, double chests appear as single with the other half being invisible. You can access both separately, however you can’t take items out or put them in until after logging on and off. The attached file is a short video I made a few days ago clipped from a stream on that day. It happened again as I streamed yesterday and 4 more times during the stream I had tonight, in case you would like to see it there for further context the link is down below (with time stamps for the bug occuring below that):

I swear I’m not here to promote my streams, but it happened again on stream and honestly I don’t feel like clipping it out when I made the initial report. But here’s more evidence it is still present in the latest update (also other people on the Realm had the same issue recently):

Fast forward to 2:00:37 and then I resolve the issue by logging in and out by 2:02:50

Im having this same exact issue on 1.26.63. If I go to the Nether and return, half of my double chests are invisible, the invisible ones are empty, and I can’t do anything with them. They are both accessible but I can not add or take items from them. If I leave the game and come back, all chests are back to normal but as soon as I go to the Nether and return, all of my chests are messed up again. Here is a link to my youtube video showing the issue.
Hope that helps
I have also experienced this; here is my full findings
Steps to reproduce:
On a Bedrock Realm, build a storage wall of double chests: 3 columns of doubles, 3 blocks high, in one row (x 28-33, y 73-75, z 26).
Confirm that all chests render correctly and that items can be moved in and out.
Enter a Nether portal and return to the Overworld. The portal is about 32 blocks from the chests.
Look at the storage wall and try to open the chests.
Observed result:
Some double chests are missing one half, which is invisible while its outline stays. The targeting box is a single-block size.
Chests, both the visible and invisible halves, open but won’t let you remove items.
Expected result: Chests render and work normally after changing dimensions.
Workaround: Leaving the Realm and rejoining restores everything. It breaks again after the next Nether trip, so the contents are intact and this is a client-side sync problem.
Additional notes:
Replacing the double chests with barrels removes the problem, which points to the paired-chest block entity.
Chests on both sides of a chunk border (x=31/32) are affected, so this isn’t only the known chunk-border case.
It looks related to the earlier MCPE-106030 / MCPE-109916 (half-invisible double chests).
TLDR; this seems like a client side chunk loading issue. None of the contents are missing and it only seems to be happening with double-chests; barrels are unaffected.
