I made something close to this (http://www.minecraft101.net/t/experience-grinder.html) but the mobs (zombies or skeletons) are able to hit me once in a while when I'm hitting them through the half slab hole by their feet. Is this a bug or can mobs truly see/hit you through a half slab at (their) foot level?
They can depending on your setup. Can you post a pick of the area? My best guess is you either have them too high and their head can see down through the angle, or you have too much space and they can stand back away and get a sight angle.

Thanks for the reply! Here are a couple pics - what should I change?
...
BTW the area the mobs are in in a one block space - that's it. And if you can't tell from the pics I have only a half slab space open at their feet to hit them - but no matter what angle I try, they can always whack me!
I've had a similar issue with zombies. It's as though they either have a longer reach or that the server loses track of where they are for a moment and they get a whack in from closer than they should be.
That being said, you might try changing to what I typically use and see if it makes a difference. Have the mobs land on a half slab, remove the half slab you have in front and remove the halfslabs your standing on and replace with normal blocks. I know this seems like it should be the same, but it could make a difference. If that doesn't seem to help, try putting glass in the corners there where they are poking through.

Thanks for the idea rodabon (and not flaming me for semi-highjacking this old thread). The change/test you suggest doesn't seem to fix things - my guess (hope) is that it's related to this ... which I hope Mojang will fix soon/at some point: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-50668

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
