      The Bug

      When you send pulses into arrays of repeaters in quick succession, they will be lost.

      How To Reproduce

      1. Build setup as seen on picture
      2. Push the button
        → Notice how the signal travel through all the repeaters but the last one.

      (Note: this description uses “redstone ticks”, which are actually 2 game ticks long.)

      Note: It does not matter how long the array of repeaters is, you could have 500 and the last one would fail to turn off. This might have to do with updates, but when working with complicated or fast timing circuits, this bug is very annoying.

      On the right setup, a 1 tick pulse is generated when you place a redstone torch on the redstone block. It should give a 1 tick pulse to the piston, then turn off for 1 tick, and then give another 1 tick pulse. Instead, it gives a single 3 tick pulse.
      This is the most annoying of all when you have a large (downward) piston extender which can only be powered from one side, because you have to use redstone lines and to BUD a piston below another one, you have to send 2 pulses with 1 tick of delay inbetween.

      Code analysis

      Based on 1.11 decompiled using MCP 9.35 rc1

      The reason why the last repeater or comparator stays powered seems to be that the methods net.minecraft.block.BlockRedstoneDiode.updateState(World, BlockPos, IBlockState) and net.minecraft.block.BlockRedstoneComparator.updateState(World, BlockPos, IBlockState) set a different priority for the update based on whether or not a repeater or comparator is after them.
