When deflecting arrows from a close proximity to skeletons, it'll bounce back and not hit them if they're against the wall.

bro I reported the exact same issue yesterday and I think they fixed it because today the arrows did hit it.

I would like to add just for clarity that this isn’t limited to just skeletons. Seems it applies to any projectile mob (like piglins with crossbows for example). I think the summary is fine as is but it could technically be rewritten to be more inclusive as I’m pretty sure it’s the same underlying issue.
