 Description   

I was on creative mode and I built a witch hut myself; then I spawned a witch in it with the spawn egg. I flew around in a nearby biome and when I came back, the witch had despawned. I have tried many times, but it keeps happening. I even fenced the witch in its hut once and it still despawned when I left it to go into another biome.

This works as intended. The witch is a hostile mob, therefore will despawn when you venture too far away from it.

The game treats Witches as a hostile mob, like zombies creepers skellies etc, so the same despawn logic applies to them also.

Not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure all non-passive mobs will de-spawn if you're out side of the render distance. So I'd say it works as intended.
