Sometimes when I have my inventory open, click a hot bar slot, then click an empty inventory space to make that hot bar slot empty, then I close my inventory and reopen it, the item I removed from the hot bar has completely and irrecoverably disappeared from my inventory and the entire game. Whether it was a tool or stack of blocks or anything else. All are susceptible. Does not happen every time obviously or there would be outrage. Usually I've walked around a bit and probably picked up something else before I open my inventory again to find that my item has vanished. My inventory is not full during any of this. I have had this happen many times.
This issue feels new with MCPE 1.1.5. I don't recall noticing it on the few previous versions.

A similar and possibly related issue I have is that when feeding animals, often the food stack item (e.g. wheat) will clone itself in place of one of my other items. So while I do get "free" food, I lose forever the item the food replaced. And considering how renewable food is, this also is always irritating.
Also sometimes items just straight vanish from my inventory, even items in my hot bar. I'm not dropping them or putting them away. This is outright data corruption item loss, and it really takes a lot of fun out of the game. Losing dirt blocks is one thing, but when it's a heavily enchanted diamond item that took quite a few hours of materials hunting and levels spent at the enchantment table and anvil, it's maddening. This is about as severe as a bug can be. How was this not caught prior, and why isn't it being addressed? Is it that my world is corrupt, and MCPE players in general don't suffer this problem??
Thanks for the report, however this has been reported as MCPE-18617 which has been resolved as fixed in an upcoming update. Information about the time of the release of this update cannot be determined at this time. Please search if you didn't this time before reporting issues as it is likely that a report for your issue already exists.
I've had this issue as well, although the worst that's happened to me was a clock.
