 Description   

Mega_Spud Update:
In 0.16.0 on touchscreen, this seems to affect all containers including chests.

Tested on Samsung TabPro SM-T520 in Creative mode

When transferring a stack of items to a Hopper, dropper or dispenser, the items don't reliably move to the container.

Examples

  • If trying to transfer half a stack of arrows to a dispenser, when you release halfway through holding the item, the progress bar continues animating until fully green, but nothing actually moves to the container
  • When holding the item to transfer a whole stack, only some of the items transfer, or none at all.
  • Tapping a stack will transfer one item, but double tapping will fill the transfer bar, but none will move across. (the transfer bar then doesn't disappear)
  • When holding a stack to transfer it, the transfer bar can move around following finger movements, and will then sit out of place (see screenshot #2)

This appears fixed in 1.0.0 full release.

Transferring items seems much faster and more smooth.

The green transfer bar can still be moved slightly if you move your finger whilst holding the stack of items, but it is not enough to be a problem.

Comment by Thursa McCoy [ 23/Nov/16 ]

This is also effecting the Amazon tablet.

Comment by jamino [ 14/Nov/16 ]

same here on 0.16.1 (started on 0.16) - samsung galaxy tab pro, cyanogenmod 12.1
solution: keep finger steady when longpressing, if inventory moves slightly out of place described behaviour...

Comment by Mike Bee [ 05/Nov/16 ]

Since the 0,16.1 update the problem is still apparent on both realms and single player.

Comment by Mike Bee [ 30/Oct/16 ]

Since the update using chests to add or remove items is now sluggish/slow and sometimes fails altogether. if you take you finger off too early or too late the item removal just doesnt work whihc makes it a hit and miss each time you use them. all we do is build house and castkle and so we use a lot dirt clay brick and blocks etc this is very time consuming now.

Comment by just 1guitar [ 22/Oct/16 ]

confirmed to work in realms to, takes forever to move a stack

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 22/Oct/16 ]

This affects normal chests in 0.16.0 also on Android devices. The transfer bar can be moved, and tapping a single item to transfer it is very slow/laggy.

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 30/Aug/16 ]

Just a note on transferring items, if you open the gui of a hopper that is transferring items, it looks like the number of items is not decreasing, but remains stationary. If you exit the hopper and reenter, you can see the number has decreased. This relates to MCPE-16696

Comment by gatharian [ 30/Aug/16 ]

Reopening as of MCPE-16697

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 20/Jun/16 ]

According to MCPE-15750 also affects 'horse inventories'.

Comment by gatharian [ 10/Jun/16 ]

When transferring items you see the solid green bar but the items don't transfer.

Comment by gatharian [ 03/Jun/16 ]

Affects 0.15.0 build 1. It just shows the solid green bar again and the items don't transfer.

Comment by David Juckes [ 30/May/16 ]

Still in MCPE 0.14.3, iOS 9.2.1, 9.3, 9.3.1, 9.3.2, iPod Touch 6th gen

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 20/Apr/16 ]

The progress bar can still be moved around when transferring items to certain containers. 0.15.0 Realms Alpha build 2

Comment by PHO [ 07/Apr/16 ]

Still affects 0.14.1.

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 18/Feb/16 ]

On 0.14.0 Windows 10, the shift clicking items into containers works perfectly, but if holding left click, the progress bar can still be moved around,

Comment by Josh Bone [ 12/Feb/16 ]

They don't act like chests, but I have had no trouble transferring items to dispensers, hoppers and droppers in build 6.

Comment by rplatham [ 11/Feb/16 ]

Still exists in build 6, see MCPE-13393.

Comment by Ryan Crick [ 10/Feb/16 ]

Finally!!!!

Comment by gatharian [ 10/Feb/16 ]

Fixed in 0.14.0 build 6

Comment by Ryan Crick [ 06/Feb/16 ]

I would think they would have fixed this by now, but no.

Comment by Jed Nemch [ 06/Feb/16 ]

Yeah they said they fixed it, but it doesn't. It was hard to make a tutorial.

Comment by Arjho Janvir Rosario [ 06/Feb/16 ]

This bug affects 14.0 build 1-5 on my device also i discovered bug on build 5 that TNT logo is tilted on 3rd person view and igniting flint and steel

Comment by Ryan Crick [ 06/Feb/16 ]

It works a bit better, but it still doesn't work with large stacks.

Comment by Jed Nemch [ 06/Feb/16 ]

Build 5 is out. This bug is fixed. Also the hopper bug is fixed.

Comment by Ryan Crick [ 06/Feb/16 ]

Same on Kindle fire hd.

Comment by John Wilczewski [ 05/Feb/16 ]

same thing here on Samsung galaxy alpha. loading hoppers and dispensers, when I let go of the long press while loading them, the green bar keeps going as if I'm pressing still, but nothing is transferred.

Comment by Jed Nemch [ 05/Feb/16 ]

Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Android 5.1.1. I made a YouTube video about it.

Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Android 5.1.1 Version: 0.14.0 Beta 3

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 26/Jan/16 ]

Updated - bug also affects hoppers

Comment by ItsPlantseed [ 26/Jan/16 ]

Confirmed, when you release your finger at the middle green bar while drag/scroll the inventory up/down.
