When I play SMP on a particular server, about two seconds after I remove a block, it reappears and I don't get a block from destroying it. Any blocks that I place disappear. I figured that it's just lag, but recently, this is a constant glitch and if there's any way to remedy it, please tell me. I did search and found nothing on this. It is, in my opinion, a gamebreaker for me and a couple of my clan mates.
Edit - I am OP, and this issue happens anywhere from a 5-second walk away from spawn, to a ten minute sail to a nearby island.
Nope, I can pause the game, come back 20 minutes later and still be missing my work. Sometimes, it magically makes my destroyed and placed blocks appear instantly, all at the same time after a 20 minute wait, but that's rare.
Is this on ALL blocks or just SOME blocks. Specifically is it (primarily) occurring on any of the following:
Torches
Ladders
Signs
Fences
If it's occurring on all blocks then I have absolutely no idea. If it's occurring primarily on the list of blocks above, then it's a bug in the server software, remedied by persistence or deleting the block on which the offending block is placed.
Ladders are buggy sometimes, you need to remove the block they're attached to to remove them. No idea what's causing the problems with dirt, stone and cobble though. :/

I have the same problem. I haven't explored it in depth but before I go ahead and start playing multiplayer survival mode I'd like to know that I can place / mine stuff.
Hmm, experienced this problem until i set affinity for java to only cpu0. could someone else who hosts a server and has this problem try it in task manager and report the result?
I'm having the same problem. It started as of this last patch, v1.2.2. Before then, I had reappearing blocks maybe once every few days. Now, just about every block takes 2-3 tries before it stays gone. There are some ways around it, namely going head on to a block instead of trying to mine it from any angle.
lag in minecraft has this beavior, you have a hard time removing blocks, because respawn.
Could be any other thing, but the most probable is lag... probbaly the server is about to die because a memory leak, or something like that.
Right, except it's being experienced solely as of the latest patch, which would indicate a bug rather than lag. Unless the bug happens to be causing lag, rather than the bug directly causing blocks to respawn. It does behave like lag, I'll give you that.
I would hate to think it's the authentication, as technically it should only need to authenticate on first logon. If it were authentication causing the issue, that would mean the game is constantly authenticating to cause the constant lag/respawn problem.
I heard somewhere that if you keep your mouse still and don't hold down your mouse it works. Eg. After breaking the block immediately let go of the mouse. It really works for me.
I have also found that Holding down the mouse button for longer than neccessary for each block can cause them to respawn more often. If you hold it down for only as long as needed for each block, it will usually work better.
It's a bug, might have something to do with the built in cheat protection overreacting a bit. Just wait for the next update, should be fixed by then I guess.

It's not lag, it's a bug in the update having something to do with client-server sync. Letting go of the left click just after mining a block works well, as does holding right and left click at the same time (although less effectively). This has NOTHING to do with the server or the client lag, just a bug in sync or validation as someone spoke of.
