 Description   

Standing on top of a dropped item stack, then dropping an item from the inventory, causes the stack on the ground to be picked up, but the items vanish.

Steps to reproduce

  • In survival, get an item and drop it on the ground, for example ladders.
  • fill your inventory with something that is not the same as the dropped item. (/give @p stone 50000 for example)
  • Stand over the dropped ladder item
  • Drop your held slot of stone so you can pickup the ladder item. Notice the dropped ladder item entity despawns, but the ladder items aren't in your inventory and your hand remains empty after dropping the stone items.

Affects 1.1.0.1

Recreated this time while harvesting a sugar cane farm by breaking the top two canes in a 3 cane stalk, leaving one to regrow.

The following gives a fairly reliable method to recreate or test this bug as the expected drops are quatifiable.

  • The sugar cane farm contains 96 canes and yeilds 192 (3*64 stacks) canes when harvested.
  • Consistently I got 3*64 stacks of cane when harvesting the mature farm prior to this bug.
  • On this occasion after harvesting and picking up the drops I only had 2*64 stacks of cane and a part stack of 26 canes, so roughly 20% (38 canes) vanished when being picked up.

Another scenario of this. I pickaxed a furnace containing 64 smelted stone. Both the stone and the furnace were on the ground. I collected both the stack of stone and the furnace. A short time later I went to place the furnace back but it was not in my inventory and had vanished.

I then tried to recreate it with another furnace containing some smelted gold, pickaxed the furnace, both furnace and gold ingots were on ground, collected both gold and furnace. This time both furnace and gold ingots were correctly in my inventory.

So, this is an intermittent bug or there is some collection timing issue. My point is, if you're trying to recreate this and don't get it first attempt, try again rather than labelling "cannot reproduce".

I have confirmed this also on 1.1.0.0, just as Dylan K.Taylor described. Occasionally when I throw an item from a full inventory to make room to pick up other items already on the ground, the items on the ground animate and a pickup sound is played but the items are not added to player inventory and have vanished.
