It happens if you mine on the ceiling and if you go 2 blocks or deeper into the ceiling. (So that you have a one block wide hole in the ceiling with blocks on all 4 sides). The mined blocks seem to get stuck on the edge of the blocks around them although it should be a flat wall.
Kind of similar to the bug where you could walk on a flat wall on the edge of the blocks that made up that wall.
Not the best screenshot. I’ll try to take a better one later. But if you look closely you can see some mined coal floating in the ceiling without any reason.
If you have a smart stack of iron in the compactor machine, it can not be made into compacted iron item until the smart stack is separated into multiple individual stacks.
