When you try to throw an Item from the hotbar while in any part of the creative inventory besides search and full inventory, the item is deleted instead of dropped.

Can reproduce in 20w09a.

Since my issue is now a duplicate of this, I would like to add something that is incorrect in the description of this ticket. Not all items are deleted when pressing "q". While testing this for the past 3 years I have been able to always get 12 to 14 items when using a whole stack (half a stack has the same result).

Furthermore, it also works (i.e. it deletes items) when in the creative full (survival) inventory and you do not need to have the items in the hotbar.

To clarify, there was some confusion about similar bugs regarding items dropped in Creative mode being deleted. But it appears @unknown's report MC-116618 is different than this (and MC-23039 which it duplicates) since that has been fixed in 16w50a.
Additionally MC-170863 is a separate bug which always consistently happens for an item stack of size 1, regardless of how many items you have thrown already. So it has nothing to do with the drop threshold described in MC-116618.
