Redtone components placed in certain positions stop signs from receiving signal updates

CRAFTBOOK-2581 - Reported by dddeeefff
I was fiddling about with an IC and couldn't get them to work for a while. After experimenting for a bit I discovered that if you place a redstone component (repeater, redstone block, note block, etc) one block to the side and one block down from the redstone leading up to an IC (tested with transmitters and set block above), it stops the sign receiving redstone updates.
Here are some screenshots illustrating the issue so you don't have to try to work out my terrible description:

The direction the repeater faces - it could face parrallell with redstone and still cause the issue.
EDIT
If you put a block on top of the interfering block (eg. redstone block, repeater), then you can bypass this issue

In the config, do you have "indirect-redstone" toggled off? If so, it may be because CraftBook (or Bukkit) considers that your redstone wire doesn't face the IC. That would be why putting a block on top of the "interfering block" solves the issue.

yeah, it is turned off. I wouldn't want to turn it on because we've built a lot of stuff with craftbook over the years and I wouldn't want to break anything

So it may be that. Since I'm no developper, I can't say if it's some CraftBook bug or Bukkit issue.

I believe this is a bug with bukkits methods of checking if a block is powered.

Does this issue still occur, or has it fixed itself within the last 5 months?
