Still an issue in 16w02a.
I literally can't play the game with my current hardware because of this and so many other issues related to it.

What is your operating system?

This issue perfectly describes my problem (Ubuntu + Foreign Layout).
It is really annoying to me and I'd love it to be fixed so I can play properly again!
In the meantime I'll take any hotfix suggestion.

This is Fixed for me. Explosions physics are back to how they were in 1.7.x.

That would be awesome, thanks Searge !

I have not been concerned by this issue since a long time now and everything is still fine with 1.8.1-pre3.
If needed : I'm using an Intel HD 4000, OSX 10.10 and Java 8-release25.

I think it only concerns 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5. I recently switched to a 1.5GHz and I'm not anymore encountering it.
Edit : MC-33304 is NOT the same bug.
