Chest remains open when high above the player

When a (trapped) chest is 8 blocks above the ground and the player jumps to reach it, the chest GUI opens, the player stays in the GUI for a long time, they hear a closing sound and click Esc to close the GUI. But the chest doesn't close when the GUI is closed.

How to reproduce:

1. Place a (trapped) chest 8 blocks above the ground.
2. Stand underneath the chest.
3. Jump to open it.
4. Stay in the GUI until you hear a closing sound. (With subtitles enabled, wait until you see Chest closes.)
5. Close the GUI.

What I expected to happen was:

The chest would close and make a closing sound when closed.

What actually happened was:

The chest made a sound before the GUI was closed and when the GUI is closed the chest remains open.
