Lava disappears when trying to dispense or place manually lava bucket into a slab, trapdoor, fence gate, etc..
When dispensing: the empty bucket stay in the dispenser and the lava disappears.
What should happen (what's happen in Java and Console editions) -> the bucket of lava dropped as an item.
Please watch the video to understand clearly.
When placing: the lava disappears and you stay with the empty bucket.
What should happen: will be impossible to place lava bucket on that spesific spot - see video and picture - "manually".

The description only mentiones that the lava disappears when a dispenser does this, but it also happens when a player does it. You can see it in this video
This bug happens with every water loggable block for dispensers and manual placing.
When it comes to manual placing, you can't aim at the block directly. You have to aim the block below or to the side of the water loggable block. Then the lava will get deleted
Affects 1.18.12. Reproduced by attempting to place the lava in a slab, causing the lava to be lost and leaving an empty bucket behind. As Silentwhisperer said, it was necessary to aim for a solid block next to the slab. Honestly I find this useful to dispose of unwanted lava buckets, but I can also imagine this being very frustrating if it happens by accident.
Affects 1.13 on windows 10 and xbox one
