Looks like Observer blocks are gonna have a big change.
According to the bug tracker, these bugs will be fixed in the next snapshot:
[MC-107410] Observer block outputs single game tick pulse, not single redstone tick pulse
[MC-107730] Oberserver block powers air blocks
[MC-107783] Observer powers redstone dust only to level 1
[MC-107795] Redstone connects to Observer Blocks on sides
[MC-107934] Observers are placed with the input facing you (unlike MCPE)
