 Description   

I have searched & found earlier posts about this but they were marked 'duplicate' and did not have a real solution.

My first real bug-report here.

Lava does not update quick enough, As you can see in the attachment, I've build a 'lava-gate' the pistons block off the source blocks, which stops the flow, you'd expect, but the status as you see now has already been after around 2 days waiting for the lava to go away.

I've read the 'realism' argument, but a pillar of lava does not stay like this.. it would at least drop to ground level.

I would like to hear from someone who actually knows what the status of this problem is, and if there is a solution coming.

I hope my post will help others like me who are looking for a solution.

I feel 'intended' is wrong, but at your advice i've responded in the 'suggestions' part of the forums.

As the previous poster mentions, lava goes away slower, sure, that is fine, but it should be seconds slower, not hours or even days.

Actually, as argued (by me) in the MC-4631, while there is an intention to have slower decay than flowing in, there seems to be also a bug that makes to decay multiple orders slower than probably was intended. Details in that other issue's comments.

Duplicate of MC-9090. Also works as intended. See wiki here (under Flow) for details.
