When breaking a block in front of me, it breaks the one I'm on.

Reopening this as it still exists. I think this is a residual bug of the feature whereby a player can place blocks 'on air' directly in front of them when standing near the edge of a block. The feature was added so players could place a block in front of them without having to sneak (which wasn't added until ~0.12.1). It meant you could pillar up and make a bridge by placing blocks in the air one block in front of you. It seems the 'feature' also allows the block you are standing on to be broken as well (as the block gets highlighted), especially when you're using a high efficiency tool.

I have reported this bug to an internal bug tracker - I assume it was already reported there but due to the nature of the bug it is rather hard to find the correct way it was phrased to describe. If you have any reliable way to reproduce this bug with bigger than 50% efficiency, please share repro steps 🙂

Steps to Reproduce: (If you are in PE recommend turn on the split controls to more easily reproduce).
1 - Build a simple pillar with 4 blocks or more in height (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/9l0zNEw.png).
2 - Stay on top of the pillar and look about 45 ° down. See the block indicator will be on the block below you but you're not looking directly at this block. (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/m9N2Lx2.png).
3 - Right click on mouse (or touch and hold if you are in PE). Done. The block is below you will break. (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/6fYrkiW.png).

Thanks Rodrigo!

Fixed in 0.16 beta (idk the build)

Thanks Rodrigo. Closing it as Fixed.
