Chest gets placed incorrectly visually / desync when replacing another chest

Problem with the placement of chests resulting in a failure to connect properly with the adjacent chest.

To reproduce:

Place line of single chests in creative mode. While rapidly rotating your character's head (use higher sensitivity if necessary) and while aiming at a chest, press both LMB & RMB at the same time to instantly break and replace the chest. This should create a visual glitch with the chest incorrectly attaching to other chest (see picture) This will fix itself when block is updated or after relogging (see other picture).

Expected result:

Chest will stay in single form as shown after it has been updated or after relogging.

Observed result:

Abnormal connection to adjacent chest.
