The bug
When teleporting an entity using the /tp or the /teleport command, its Motion is reset to Motion:[0.0d,0.0d,0.0d].
How to reproduce
Place a repeating command block.
Enter the command
/execute as @e at @s run teleport @s ~ ~ ~and set it to always active.
Summon any entity and notice it is not affected by gravity (or moving around).
What I expected to happen was
The entity should be unaffected by the command, because its motion should not be changed by the /teleport command, unless any coordinate is set to an absolute one,just like players.
What actually happened was
The entity stopped moving, because the teleportation resets its Motion.

"/teleport" still cancel out motion of mob.

Constantly rotating mob using teleport makes them not have gravity

Squids don't fall even when teleport command doesn't change their y-value.

Confirmed 1.15 pre-4. Mobs can still pathfind and walk and be pushed and knocked back while floating. Their pathfinding becomes erratic sometimes though. They just don't go up or down.
Tested with: /execute as @e[type=villager,distance=..13] at @s run tp @s ~ ~ ~
Confirmed for 1.19, requesting
1. The commands in the description to be replaced with a simple
/execute as @e at @s run teleport @s ~ ~ ~ so you can check all mobs.
2. ownership, as this report is pretty neglected.
Removed the conclusion as that is:
a suggestion.
not going to happen, 1.13 makes tp an allias of teleport.
