I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I searched for it and couldn't find any other thread suggesting it, so why not.
I think it would be a good idea if glass blocks and panes were reusable. My computer lags all the time, so blocks that I place often end up in the wrong spot, which is really annoying when I'm working with glass. Not to mention, since it breaks so quickly, it's really easy to break on accident. It seems like a waste of sand when you break a glass block/pane and you don't get it back.
It's not really that big of a deal, I just think it would be nice. It would make it less of a hassle to work with glass, that's for sure.
I see no initiative to add that, seeing how ridiculously easy it is to find sand. If your PC lags to the point where block placement is always an issue, it may be time for a new one.

You can get Glass Blocks back with Silk Touch, but that is a pretty expensive enchantment to be using on things caused by lag spikes. What about them dropping 1-4 Glass Shards and you can craft a Glass Block from 4? Panes would drop 1 Glass Shard every time, so you can get 4/6 Blocks back that went into crafting it.

If you use a lot of Glass, whether it be for Brewing or building, you can go through Sand very quickly, especially since most places that have Sand only have about 3 blocks deep of it. And that's just with Glass, you use a ton more with Sandstone or anything of that variety, so people who end up using that a lot either have to travel miles for Sand or completely demolish the landscape, which is something I absolutely abhor doing.
The best solution I would say is a Crusher type device that can make Gravel and Sand by crushing Cobblestone. That way it's basically unlimited, but you still bust your ass getting fuel to make it work, and then you still need to make more Glass.

That would actually probably be a better idea, since it makes more sense. That's actually what I thought would happen to broken glass when I first started playing, haha.
