    EDIT: THIS IS FOR 71.3 AND 74.0! SORRY FOR INCORRECT TITLE.

    I don't think this glitch has been posted so I'll do it. 
    It's found in the current version: 71.3
    It is also found the beta version: 74.0

    How to perform it:

    Make a box out of a solid and hollow it out, with the bottom cut out.
    Draw a one pixel by your choice line at the bottom ((Horizontal)(Any Solid))
    Place a powder on top of it.Some of the powder may fall through correct?
    Now, add pressure above the powder. What happens? The powder slips through the solid. 

    Is it supposed to do that?
    Just a little glitch/bug whatever it may, I may have found.

    It's not supposed to, but the pressure grid is 4x4, and this DOES happen, unfortunatly. You have to make a 4 thick wall. And yes, some powder may fall through without air, falling powder dislocates some air and creates pressure.

    A 2 pixel wall stops powders. Just tested.

    Hmm? Let me look into this better...
    Hmm, you're right.
    All I know is that it's not intended, it's hard to if not impossible to fix, and it has been here since as long as I can recall.

    Hey, without the air pressure above, when some particle fall though, is that included in this glitch?

    the problem is the way tpts movement code works, if the weight of an object is over 50 then it will go through and solid that is 1 pixel thick, it is known bug and it get fixed with savask fixing the movement code in realistic mode/if simon changes it in tptpp.
