When a fox is swimming in the water and spots a chicken it still gets its high jump

The bug

When a fox who is swimming in the water spot a chicken it does its big jump to the chicken which is physically not possible. Also when the water is deep the fox dives underwater and starts drowning after a while because it doesn't try to swim.

How to reproduce

  1. Locate a large open body of water

  2. Summon chickens on the surface of the water (/summon chicken)

  3. Summon foxes on the surface of the water around eight blocks away from the chickens (/summon fox)
    ❌ The foxes jump to the chickens, even though they are in water

Expected Behavior:

Foxes would not be able to perform long jumps whilst in water
