0003161: Vertical hole only filled up to absolute z-level 0 by falling water
Water falling down a vertical hole only fills it up to absolute (the black numbers in lower right corner) z-level 0. Small amounts of water linger for a while on z-level 1, but disappear clearly faster than evaporation. Possibly flow to a non-existent place due to bug at 1-0 boundary?

As the lower z-levels fill normally, this is not a case of water evaporating before it can fill the space.
Dig a vertical hole, or a downwards zig-zagging stairwell that spans at least absolute z-levels 1 and 0, preferably more to notice that the lower z-levels fill normally.
Try to fill the hole with a water flow from above.
No tags attached.
