Here is Wikipedia's definition of bug; A software bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program or system that produces an incorrect or unexpected result, or causes it to behave in unintended ways.
Considering I think it is a flaw in a computer program that produces an incorrect result, I am well within my rights to call this a bug.
It is also a change in functionality, to one that makes sense. I am reporting this as the bug it is, and it would be absolutely wonderful if Mojang could make this fix because it would improve several redstone aspects of the game.
I've tried it in numerous worlds, and it works the same in every one.
If you put two buckets (water and lava) into a dispenser, then sent one pulse, either water or lava will be dispensed. Then if you send another pulse, 50% of the time it will turn into obsidian and the other 50% it returns the source block. I don't think this should happen. The source block should be returned 100 % of the time.
I don't think the developers see this as a bug, because it only infringes gameplay a small amount, and most people don't even know that it happens (maybe even them). It does affect certain things a large amount though.
I refuse to believe that any creation built by a player would rely on the way this works currently. All it causes is breakages and blocks and items being destroyed. I don't think the developers intended for it to work this way, but rather didn't think of the situations where this causes hassle. The change I am saying about wouldn't affect most players, if any at the moment, other than allowing more complex things to be created. There are easy ways to work around the problems you are saying about, but none fore what I am saying. Plus I'm not even sure anything would break with this change. If you could tell me what incredible creation would be broken because of this then I would happily listen. I know of no one who would be unhappy with this change, and most generally it's up to the community as a whole what they want to be changed. As of yet it is no people wanting for this to be kept against me and the people I've told about my design which know that it could be very useful.
