I have found a rending bug that is quite annoying...

When enter a new world, excited to see the 1.8 update I oped up the options menu and cranked up the render distance. I thought I would be able to see extreme distances, but a bug has stopped me from doing this. This bug occurs when the render distance is running between 19 and 32. I don't think there was any specific way to get this glitch besides having the render distance nice and high, many of my friends have this problem, but some do not.
