So, a curious thing I noticed when leveling an alt rogue via killing (worgen, sitting in Gilneas killing till typically level 10 just for fun)
Ambush one shot kills do NOT break stealth most of the time.
Like, at all. I got to level 10 and chose subtlety, same things with Shadowstrike. Was this always a thing and I just didn’t realize since I rarely one shot things, or is this a bug?

I noticed the same thing while playing my rogue and farming coins of air in Suramar. One shotting the mobs with Ambush doesn’t seem to break stealth. Also not sure if bug or feature. Can’t seem to find a talent or anything that explains this.
Apparently this ability may do it, I’m not sure how though:
I wouldn’t say this has anything to do with it, as I said above, this was also with Ambush before I even hit level 10, no spec, no talents, or anything like that, just the base ability.
Edit:
Thinking about it a bit more, I think I just figured it out.
Something in the coding script isn’t triggering the “stealth break”.
As in, in the split second delay between using the ability and the trigger for “stealth break” the target is already dead. Therefore the script doesn’t trigger so stealth is kept. There is either just a normal delay, or it breaks because of the instant auto attack you do or the aggro you get. But since the thing is dying so quickly just due to the base ability damage, nothing is there to trigger the “stealth break”
I hope this makes as much sense to you as it does me.
