 Description   

Previously you could kill spiders and slime that had spawned at night to kill and collect drops in the day. Now they spawn and, while watching them so that you can chase and kill, they despawn almost immediately day breaks. The only option now is to kill at night immediately they have spawned. I have searched for another report but found none.. also affected version 0.16.0

This does not seem to be an issue now for 1.0.5 and must have been fixed a couple of releases ago.

To get a slime above ground I used to go to a swamp, while jumping up create a stack a of about 30 blocks, create a little deck to place the bed and watch for a slime to spawn. Once spawned I could go to sleep, go back to ground level and kill the slimes, and spiders if there happened to be any, and collect the loot. Now the slimes, and spiders, just disappear into thin air. Creepers and other mobs hiding in shade remain as expected.

(win 10, survival) I don't know about slimes aboveground, but I've not seen a single spider since 16.0.
MCPE-17651 could be related, although in that one I don't see the spiders at night either.
