If you make an dispenser using the recipe book, it also uses your special full enchanted bow. If you click to fast (like i did) your bow is gone...
How to reproduce it:
1. Start creative world.
2. Go to Inventory and grab a stack of cobblestone, redstone, one bow and crafting table.
3. Place down the Crafting Table.
4. Select the bow on your hotbar and type /enchant <player> minecraft:infinity .
5. Now open the Crafting Table and make a dispenser using the recipe book.
Possible way(s) to fix:
1. It is no longer possible to craft dispensers with a enchanted bow using the recipe book.
2. If a bow is renamed the bow can not be used to craft a dispenser.

Yeah, that is true. However another option would be that the recipe book places all block in the right space except the bow. This ways you have to place it in yourself, so you can make sure which bow is used. I know this is not the idea behind the recipe book, however it saves a lot of time getting your enchanted bow back.
I agree that it can be valid to craft a dispenser with an enchanted bow, but I strongly believe that the recipe book's auto-fill should scan the inventory for any usable non-enchanted bow and use that before trying to use an enchanted bow.
I just accidentally lost my best bow because the enchanted bow always seems to be picked first (which may be because it's on the hotbar).
It looks like MC-117569 may relate to the fix for this.
I just lost a strongly enchanted bow to this too. I understand how it might not technically be classed as a bug since it is a result of working features, however a system needs to be put in place to prevent excessive user error.
Issue : The dispenser prioritises your main enchanted bow in your hotbar over the unenchanted bows in your inventory. Since players often carry bows as a permanent fixture in their hotbar it is far too easy to forget that it is there. Most players will not wish to use enchanted bows in their recipes. I imagine that the vast majority of incidents where players have used enchanted bows have been in error.
Solution : Have the crafting for this item prioritise unenchanted items. Or better yet, make it so that you literally have to drag enchanted items into the recipe in order to use them.

Probably invalid, there might be reasons as well why you would want to craft a dispenser with an enchanted / named bow, for example if it is enchanted with "Curse of Vanishing".
