The bug
When a bow with Mending enchantment is drawn, and when the player obtains experience orbs, the bow will mend itself (normal) and the bow will "refresh" its state and the player will need to draw the bow again.
How to reproduce
Create a Mending bow with durability loss, and create some experience orbs
With the bow drawn, walk towards the experience orbs and pick it up
The bow will mend and reset its state

Hi, the same happens with a pickaxe. It's harder to notice because there is no "draw" to cancel but mining ores that give exp and having the pickaxe with mending repairing itself, you can notice that you mine slower because you have to wait each time for the experience orbs to be used so you can mine again.
