No this is not MC-7335. Stairs should act solid on their solid side -> pull Redstone as seen in first Image, and transparent on the other 3 sides. WHich means if a redstone signal touches the back of the stair (SignalStrength 1) with a redstone dust on top (SignalStrength 0), the repeater should activate.
How to reproduce:
Launch any version of the game and build the contraptions in the images.
Observed Result:
Stairs dont work as full blocks and dont cut Redstone from the backside.
Expected Result:
Stairs should work as full blocks from the full textured Sides and work like slabs from the not fully textured sides.
It would maybe be helpfull to give Stairs its kinda own mechanic here, with the '1.21 redstone update', where it functions as both at once. (Where the full texture sides work as full blocks, while the non-full-block sides work as half slabs).
This would allow for amazing new machines, or never-before-seen concepts, but it would mainly allow for compacting redstone further, while serving as a challenge for even those who are quite competent with it, all while using blocks that have been in the game for years.
Which also means it shouldnt transport the signal down from the non full textured side. I have 3 Examples in the images below.
