[MC-109981] Summoned Fireballs Despawning after 1 second

When i try to summon a Fireball with no movement from commands the fireball despawns after 1 second i need this fireball for a custom map i'm making. Heres the command I used: /execute @e[type=blaze] ~ ~ ~ /summon fireball ~ ~1 ~ {CustomName:"Punch Me!",CustomNameVisible:1,ExplosionPower:2,direction:[0:0.0d,1:0.0d,2:0.0d]}
thank you

@Neko,
As far as I understand, it is not a duplicate, maybe related, reopen.
_{Also, how do you make someones name clickable in a comment?}

Cannot confirm, however the duplicate link is indeed wrong.
Maybe the blaze is shooting the fireball which causes it to fly away? The only thing I see is that the fireball flickers.

You can use

[~UserName]

to show the name of someone with a proper link. It does however not do something special like notifying the person. Keep in mind that the user name is the one you see only on the profile page or in the link whereas the full name is the name which is displayed.

the bug is in 1.15-20w08a too anyone have resolved commands to summon it?

In order to spawn a fireball, you have to specify the direction. OP's direction nbt tag is invalid, which is why the fireball despawned: `direction:[0:0.0d,1:0.0d,2:0.0d]`

There is however a bug in 1.15 where fireballs disappear when spawned, only to appear about 2 or 3 seconds later.
