 Description   

If the comparator gets an input from a block, it looks activated (The torches burn) but it doesn't output anything. See the attached picture.

@Ruben van Baarle:
No, it's consistent now, it just behaves like repeaters: http://i.imgur.com/yDs1h.png

Wouldn't it make sense if a weak signal gets in that normally doesn't power redstone, the output must be a weak signal too? The comparator should output the same strength as the input

Fixed in 13w01b.

Comment by Anon Ymus [ 04/Jan/13 ]

This is most likely because the block does not exactly have strength. It is just powered or unpowered. Blocks should have signal strength information.

Comment by Tails [ 04/Jan/13 ]

Confirmed.
Edit: Don't know whether it should output weak or strong signal though.

Comment by Ethan Allred [ 04/Jan/13 ]

Actually, the comparator outputs a "weak" 0 length redstone signal.
