 Description   

From 1.4 to 1.4.2, in any game mode, you were able to walk between the gap created between diagonally arranged stone walls:

#.. ..#
... ...
..# or #..

But in 1.4.4 and 1.4.5 you can't do that anymore. Is that by design or was that an unintended effect?

Kumasasa,

You've classified this as "Works as intended"; so whom from Mojang stated this?

You're correct in saying that there are work-arounds with using wooden fences in the same arrangement, though I don't totally agree that we're "too fat" to fit between the diagonal gap. But as this isn't a game breaker for me, I'll still be happily playing MC.

I am glad that you have given some feedback and looked into this issue. Thanks for your time.

Confirmed. But I strongly assume that's working as intended and it was a bug in 1.4.2 to be able.
The player is simply to fat to fit in between the cobblestone walls.
It's possible to walk through the slightly wider gap of cobblestone wall / fence (at the right of the screenshot) and of course through fence / fence.
Smaller mobs like chicken and ocelots still can walk trough the cobblestone wall gaps.

Sorry for not being more specific. I meant the cobblestone walls that you can craft, not the smooth stone blocks. With the corners arranged opposite one another diagonally, you can no longer walk between the gap.

I am not able to provide a screenshot at this time (at work).

Can you attach a screenshot please ? Tried to reprocude according your description (see my screenshot), but cannot reproduce.
