Why would a dispenser check for power at the second to last redstone dust? It should only be checking the redstone dust directly connected, or the dust connected to a directly adjacent block.

Here is another manifestation of what may be the same bug: https://youtu.be/0qobI4z8des I built a piston door for a minecart to pass through using three sticky pistons and a detector rail. In the first build, where the minecart travels east through the door, the pistons do what they are supposed to. A few blocks away I built an identical door for minecarts travelling west into the wall, but the pistons behave poorly - so poorly that they do not follow the rules of redstone mechanics.

Is Mojang ever going to fix these bugs?

Could you please elaborate? In what way can one resolve this issue? How is the order of block updates affected and what can be done to make this dispenser function consistently?

Here's a video of the problem in action: https://youtu.be/9PLVdBabwlU

Here is a version showing the bare basics with respect to Redstone. The dispenser works some of the time but then refuses to operate. No change is made except for the use of the levers to activate it. I can turn either lever on and off repeatedly and it may work at first for a few dispenses and then ceases.

I don't believe this is related the issue MC 108, since no pistons are involved and since the dispenser works as intended some of the time.

Found the source of the problem was Safari! Switched to Chrome for viewing tutorials and have not seen the problem since. Obviously this wasn't a Minecraft issue.

I wish to update this to reflect what I've found.
