 Description   

somtimes when you pause the game and then quit to title the game does not correctly save your position. If you are underground at the moment of pause and quit, you will sometime be returned to a location somewhere above where you were. This happens very often. This may be related to finding doors open that were closed befor you paused and exited to title and then found them open when the game was restarted. This may all be related to what is saved at the time the game is paused.

I can confirm that this (or something very similar) affects v0.14.1.

Pausing and quiting to title will reliably (every time in my save game) teleport me to another location. I was teleported to the surface once, but every other time I was teleported to the same location underground. This glitch is also triggered during testing of this bug: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-14225

Cleaning up all the old issues - please reply if this affects 0.9.3.

This happens fairly regularly after I have mined out (and lighted) the bottom two non-bedrock layers from end to end, then quitting the game while still positioned in the bottom two layers (back - quit to title - back). When starting up again later, the game will usually spawn me outside the mine on whatever open area it finds above. If nighttime, this means fairly sure death as mobs are plentiful outside of my lighted house and mines. I've learned not to camp out where there's any unlighted surface above me.

MCPE-655 reports this still affects 0.5.0.

I had this issue on an SMP server. I logged out standing at Y12 in a wide open room. When I logged back in, I was 8 blocks higher. This put me above the ceiling of the room and into a pool of lava. Thankfully there's the 3-second login invincibility which let me screenshot my coordinates and ask a friend to come replace the pool of lava with a pool of water, so I didn't lose all my precious enchanted diamond armor.

This REALLY needs attention.

Just loaded the game. My previous location was on the ground at the fence, however I respawned about 2-3 further back, and a lot higher (not possible to spawn 2-3 squares back where I was standing, it was solid wall).

Possibly related to MCPE-51
