sword freezes with chest

I cannot confirm this bug. So the user cases that crashes the game could be:
1) Start a new map in creative mode
2) Place chest in world
3) Select sword in inventory
4) Hit the chest (which wont work in creative but still)

Could you please confirm this again?

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

No more happens when 3-D chests were added, so fixed in 0.7.3

Yup it's fixed now 😛

thanks
