@Kumasasa - Only one person confirmed that the new beta drivers fixed it. Shouldn't we at least wait for a few more confirmations (and the final drivers) before marking this as Resolved?

I just loaded snapshot 14w34d and I'm not experiencing the glitch anymore. There is considerable lag on world creation, when saving, and when switching but presumably this is because of the amount of chunks that are being generated.

I also find that if I Alt+Tab the game becomes unresponsive. Not sure if that's related but I'll have to do more testing.

I have the same issue when setting my render distance over 17. I've attached a gif that shows what I see.

@qmagnet, @FVbico: Can you confirm that it no longer happens when "Smooth Lighting" is set to "Off"?

I noticed that this only happens when "Smooth Lighting" is set to "Off". I went back to 13w10a and checked with Smooth Lighting Off and it was, in fact, still in that version. If people can't see it, they may have a different lighting setting.

Also, it's still in 1.5.

I see the issue in the 1.5 pre-release, too.

I was unable to reproduce the slab shadow issue in the latest snapshot (13w10a). Not sure about the stairs.

I can confirm this in 1.4.4, 1.4.5 and 1.4.7.
