I did try to search. Did not see this.
I am talking about several issues i think might be linked and needed to fix what i care about.
In 1.11.4 could not get villagers to work on realm. Nothing is consistent. Even with new villagers some would choose jobs. Some would just stay unemployed. Not talking about nitwits. Had really given up on getting them to use beds wish you would as well. Doors worked. We deserve a game that works.
Downloaded and played local same issue. I can place beds and workstations down until they quit reacting and 10 more. And you have many villagers that will not choose a job.
Enabled beta. Wanted to see if fixed 100% in beta. Only do beta on rare occasions. Also tried a new iron farm in beta.
Instantly on 1.12.0.12 beta 1 of 2 new villagers took the job from the grindstone in front of him. The other no. Niether used the bed. There are around 15 other villagers in this area for trading hall. At one point all were linked to beds and stations. They are in cubicles and standing on bed. They all quit using beds. As far as i can tell the 5 or 6 farmers are still refreshing trades, same with 5 fishermen. The 5 fletchers do not. Before and after beta have broken stations and placed them back down. They don't work.
After 1.12.0.13. The 2 new villagers the jobless one is now a weaponsmith. The one that is a weaponsmith changed to a stonemason. The only stone cutter is about 100 blocks away.
As of 1.12.0.13 after working on iron farm and letting run till kicked while sleeping. A few farmers and fletchers are using beds. The beds were not recently broken before or during the beta.
I built a new iron farm during this. I removed half of my old iron farm. So about 60 to 80 villagers, many beds and work stations. This made room for the new farm.
The farm is featured on skippy6gaming youtube channel. I tweaked it. It was working. Was getting 1 golem every 5 to 7 min. After 3 or 4 killed off remaining old villagers and removed rest of old village. No more golems. Waited several hours. Built a platform near iron farm. Put in beds. Spawned villagers 15 to 20 villagers. In iron farm had 4 groups of 15 villagers. Added 2 villagers to each group.
This iron farm is over 100 blocks away from trading hall on the xz axis. And over 100 away on the y axis.
I slept while running. Before kicked generated about 1.5 stacks of iron and 5 stacks string from cats.
It was after this noticed villagers now sleeping in beds. And the 2 new villagers taking and changing professions.
Could we seriously talk about going back to the cast system and doors for villager mechanics. Put this crap on the shelf until it rises above alphaware. So players can be players instead of beta testers.

Ok looked at the issue of trading. Not clear if there is one for bedrock. The one i clicked was for console.
This was on realm playing 1.11.4 still think there should have been a hotfix by now or you should be abandoning new villager crap in beta for working version of doors and born caste system.
Off realm think the villager issue is diff but still broken. It is also random. So with no changes to blocks placed. Beds and workstations. I have the villagers locked down in cubicles with limited mobility. Have 2 diff trading areas with diff containment of villagers. But its random. With no block changes villagers can lose connection with both beds and/or workstations. And on rare occasions reconnect with a dif one.
I had given up on both and started working on 1 or more trading halls in nether. At trading hall near world spawn. After extra villagers were killed off or moved to nether i noticed a change in villagers. Many that were trading were broken from workstation. Have about 18 set up think 4 or 5 farmers had been working, 1 or 2 shepards and 2 or 3 fisherman. None were using beds. None of fletchers were working.
Now had 1 farmer still refreshing trades. 1 fle5cher was using bed. 2 new villagers were now the profession of grindstone in front of them. 1 was using bed. Other was refreshing trades but not sleeping.
Feeling like charlie brown with the football. I started breaking workstations. And it was moderately easy to get them to link to villagers.
I understand it is likely this will break at anytime for anyreason. It may just be a coincidence it started working at this moment. But the evidence i am seeing is villagers are breaking because of the numbers of villagers. Prob related to the nature of villagers needing a workstation in the first place. Or that it needs a very special one to use locked only for them.
Please fix. And maybe explain to spokespeople. The reason they are seeing record numbers of people watching streams of people playing minecraft may not be good news. It might be from people not wanting to play it since its still broken. If you are making entertainment to watch great news. If you are making a game to enjoy playing. Not so much.
