I was also having this problem in Win 10 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 but never reported it. For me, it only happened rarely. I would kill a skeleton in my mob farm and get 3 XP orbs but only absorb 2 of them; the 3rd would just bounce around in my face blocking my view until it despawned. I never did figure out how to absorb it, or how many XP points it carried. I was speculating that maybe the problem was that it carried 0 points, so there was nothing to absorb and the orb never got the signal to despawn.

Could you provide any steps to reproduce this issue?

Could you provide any steps to reproduce this issue?

Not really, as I can't reproduce it on demand. The clip is a test setup for a different problem. In it, I had hollowed out a chunk down to level 15, sealed up the sides, lit the bottom, built a stack of oak logs 14 high in the middle, and surrounded the top log with leaves to the chunk walls. (It was to prove that mobs are spawning on leaves at the tops of trees.) I then went up top to kill a spider that was threatening to climb down. It dropped 3 orbs, 1 of which I absorbed. The other two sank into the grass blocks, went below/beside me, and popped out the side of my chunk wall, falling to the leaves. Don't know if there's a connection, but when I went after them they refused to be absorbed. But this problem also happens at my perfectly ordinary skeleton spawner XP farm, and on the surface when I kill mobs in the night. It's just random.
