The holding chest glitch

So I started up a brand new survival world with my friends. We went mining and My friend needed to put a lot of cobblestone in the chest. I think he had 47 but it doesn't matter. But when he held it, Only one block was put in! He was creeped out by this so I tried with Gold ingots. But when I held it The same thing happened! I was so mad about this glitch. But when the new update came it still wasn't fixed. So I made this report so you guys can fix it. I hope it will fix soon cause this is very annoying! -UnknitBubbles85
