@@unknown:

They're supposed to "pop" into an item entity if you can't catch it 🙂

Why should this be a bug? This is just consistent behavior. What do you expect to happen?

This is probably intended because where will it go when you have a full inventory? it just spins until you get something out. What would be a bug is if they "solved" this "issue" and it depletes or removes or one of the items in your inventory, or it just disappears when you have a full inventory.

@@unknown yes i agree there is nothing mojang can do about it, it makes sense, it spins until something goes. why are there so many confirms... this can't be fixed, it is the players problem they have to much in their inventory.

Steps to solve the so called "bug"

make sure when you throw it you have an inventory that can fit another item.

@unknown There is something mojang can do about it: Making the trident pop into item form, which would be very annoying, because then you needed to find the trident as if it doesn’t have loyalty. See this comment. (When I posted the comment that you were replying to, I didn't see that comment. That is why I was wondering.)

This should be flagged for review. Jeb has previously gone on record to note that this is a bug — perhaps indicating that it should instead be marked as "Won't Fix."

However, the way in which the trident flickers in the player's first person view is potentially triggering for those with epilepsy, which may be a good reason to switch to the usual behaviour for when tridents lose their targets — that is, to drop as an item.
