I don't think so, the OP wrote

place an item in hopper it transfers into chest with out redstone signal.

So we need an elaboration of the OP.

@Kumasasa You are misunderstanding the issue; it's not a comparator problem as he isn't trying to check for chest fullness. A trap chest also gives off a redstone signal equal to the amount of people looking into it and he apparently expected the hopper to trigger the same behavior as a player opening the chest would have had.

In this regard, this is not a bug, but works as intended - though it could be seen as a possible exploit by griefers to loot a trapped chest through the use of a hopper. So I dunno if it should be considered or not after all.

Cannot confirm.
See screenshot: (From left) Trapped chest with hopper, Trapped chest without, regular chest
All three chests are emitting redstone power through the comparator.

thetrapped chest only gets powered if somebody is looking INTO it
