[MCPE-33749] Block visibility update delay

The issue:

When placing a block, the hitbox (collision box) appears first then the block texture itself with a slight delay or time difference between the two. It happens regardless of the performance or the number of frame rates per second.

The expected behavior:

Both the block and the hotbox appear (or render) at the same time, and both disappear at the same time as well.

Is it a an usual amount of time? Like over a second or 2?

No, it's always there. Like all the time.

My Device is a low - end one, but this issue wasn't there before the 1.2.0 update.

I was asking about the Delay time.

Henry Markle 2018-05-24T21:27:58Z

Less than a second, but it still obvious especially when placing a lot of blocks.

Does it effect versions (beta) with Renderdragon re-enabled?

Yes this still affects betas with Render Dragon enabled

Someone has commented that MCPE-59935 has been fixed in 1.18.20 beta, if I remember correctly. Since this bug is related to it, can someone confirm whether it has been fixed in that beta?

No, it hasn't been. So this bug is not related to that, unfortunately.
