Redstone torch fault/bug

[jehovajones]

Ive come across a problem in creative that im pretty worried about.

I made a counter, where when you push a button in activates a line of current. When you push it again, it activates the next one, and carries on in that fashion.

The main line of redstone runs the entire length of the circuit.

Once i activated the the main line, i found that certain specific blocks (ill call them dead points), when power is given to a redstone torch, the torch will turn off.
But when the power is removed, it does not turn back on.

Now this isnt due to faulty wiring.
I have placed a single floating block in one of these "dead points" with a single torch on top, and a single button.
The button will, as per usual, turn the torch off, but once the button releases, the torch remains off. And will not turn back on unless i destroy and replace it.

It is the block which holds the torch that is the dead point, not the block suspending it. I have tested it by placing a block beside the dead point, and hung a torch in the dead point on the side of the block, and the same result is found.


Im not sure why it is happening, or what to do about it.

This same thing happened to me while I was testing a pulsar. The output torch would pulsate relatively normally (Although there were a few lapses where it would stay off longer than it should), but sometimes (Only sometimes) it would remain off when I turned the pulsar off. I thought it might just be on the client side, but if it happens to other people, it could be a bug.

Its called a 'Burnt out Redstone Torch'
There isnt much you can really do, its not client side so its not your fault, the only thing you can really do if its on the server is reboot it, other wise leave it be for a while come back if its not on then you must restart the server for it to work again.
Replacing the torch wont do anything as that one will just burn out!

Yeah, it worked after a while, so meh.

As long as its not permanent i dont mind.
