 Description   

When I was playing around in survival, I noticed that when a creeper blasted upon me even though in water, the terrain was damaged.

Way to recreate : Create a new infinite world in creative, search for a "pond" and spawn a creeper in it. After spawning, ignite it with flint and steel. In some cases you will see it damages terrain, while sometimes it doesn't.

CONFIRMED IN 0.15.7
Also confirmed in previous versions. (Of course)

Way To RECREATE: Spawn in a new creative world.> Find a water body where there is land beside. There may be 2-3 blocks gap from the land.> Summon a Creeper (in the water) with the spawn egg.> Press and hold the Creeper with a flint_and_steel.> Observe the damage done by the creeper.
Note: 1-The creeper only damages blocks above water, not underwater blocks. 2- In the PC version, the creeper doesn't damage blocks above water or below water if ignited/blasts in water.

I tested by creating a new creative infinite world, found some ocean, swam down and trapped a creeper underwater. Ignited it and no block damage. Repeated several times, and I think it's fixed in MCPE 0.15.90.8. Tested on Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920W8), Android 6.0.1.

Can't confirm in 0.15.90.2 as it isn't downloading on my phone. Can someone else confirm it?

Sorry for the very late update. Actually I don't play mcpe much.
Also this was created in April, so when there weren't much back then, I forgot about this.

I converted an unused survival world to Creative and placed 3 creepers in a pond, then converted the world back to Survival. As soon as the world loaded, one of the creepers blew up, taking the other 2 with it. But the wall it was next to was not damaged.

Version 0.15.4 Android on a Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Confirmed in 0.15.0 and 0.15.1. Did not notice it in 0.14, but have had to rebuild a few times in 15 when I got too close and they took out parts of my walls. Using Android 4.4.2
