If I driving normal conditions, I does almost never lose any coolant. So it only happens when I idling for a long time. That normal?

Of course it will loose over time but rapid amounts is a leak.

But it weird that I could literally drive normal for months and not lose a drop. But if I park up with the car on idle for about an hour, half of the overfill bottle goes down and doesn't even come back when the engine is cold

Else I'd say its something to do with your head gasket or water pump.
Has the engine ever overheated?

Radiator shop check and pressure test couldn't find any leaks
Mechanic concluded to change head and block, changed it and still loosing coolant
I looked it over for them and i found the heater core hose connection on the firewall leaking, inside and outside had coolant leaking
Bypass heater core, no more coolant loss
I'm not a mechanic btw, i just have a lil common sense, good luck with them mechanic out dey, get a second opinion
