[MCPE-40407] Can't place scaffolding on certain full-size blocks

Scaffolding cannot be placed on top slabs, upside down stairs, or glass blocks.

Other full-width blocks affected (but I expect it's by design for these) are:

Ice
Shulker box
Trapdoor (iron or wood) placed where it forms a top surface
Hopper

I can't place scaffolding on half slabs (with top-block placement) either.

(-)Minecraft Bedrock and Java have different physics please do not assume they work the same!

Java is totally different and Bedrock edition doesn't require Java to be installed!

@HelpfulGuyhehe

It is true that java edition has a lot of differences with bedrock. However, the developers are pursuing feature parity between both versions. But not all differences are bugs and similarly not all current differences are intended ergo they are considered bugs.

This particular issue is not intended because i the bug prevents scaffolding from being placed despite having a valid surface.

I've also seen some of your comments in other tickets which are very similar and what I mentioned above applies for those as well.

Just to confirm, it is by design that scaffolding cannot be placed on Shulker boxes and trapdoors in Minecraft (Bedrock Codebase), because they can change position. The other instances mentioned above are fixed in the 1.9.0.3 Beta, but we will can leave this ticket open as a point of reference until 1.9 is fully released.

Reopened because scaffolding still breaks when it falls on a top slab, as described in the duplicate ticket MCPE-38576.

Confirmed that scaffolding still breaks when it falls on a top slab or upside down stair, though not a double slab.

Also still breaks when it falls on a glass block or hopper.

I reopened this ticket because of falling scaffolding breaking on non-full height blocks, but that was not part of the original bug and is being tracked separately at MCPE-20109
