I have no idea if this was intentional or a bug. I found this bug while playing MINECRAFT: Bedrock 1.8.0 on Nintendo Switch. I placed an armor stand and placed a helmet on it, but whenever I use the invisibility effect (either using splash potions or commands) on the stand, for some reason the helmet also becomes invisible. When I remove this effect, the helmet appears once again.
NOTE: This bug was found on Version 1.8.0, NOT 1.10.0, but could still be affecting the latest version of Bedrock.

They wont fix it if it is a 1.8 bug but they might if it is a 1.10 or 1.11 bug.

It is. I effected the armor stand with invisibility and the helmet on it still disappears. This happened on the latest version of Bedrock: 1.10.0
Edit: I use helmets as my own method of pickups/collectables. Ever since the scoreboard command came out, I started using this to my advantage [If the player is touching the armor stand, it tests what block is underneath it, then sets a score depending on that block. This is just an example]. If they fix this bug, then it will be much appreciated.
I will also be surprised if minecraft player make their own map with collectibles similar to this method (unrelated to the official bug website).
Second Edit: Please mark this report as "Duplicate." I just found two old reports that say the same thing (MCPE-42574 and MCPE-42372).

Thanks for the update, I hope you fix the issue from MCPE-39779 soon. Also my report was based on armor on armor stands disappearing, but this is close enough to the issue...
I also found that after the armor stand is effected by invisibility, sometimes the item displayed on the arm follows the player around, but it stays put if the player rotates their camera.
It is the armor on the stand that became invisible with the stand...
