Hand punching animation is played after eating crops while looking at a block

The bug

When looking at a solid block and eating crops, the eating animation is followed by short hand punching / interaction animation.

How to reproduce

1. Get edible raw crops like potatoes or carrots

2. Look at a solid block (a grass block, for example)

3. Hold down the right mouse button
   → ❌  Each eating animation is interrupted at the end and followed by short punching animation (without pressing the attack / punch button at all)

Note: When not looking at any block, the eating animation ends normally with the item displayed in the hand slightly bobbing down and back up again.

Interacting (clicking right mouse button) on a solid block, while holding raw edible crops with full hunger bar, leads to no animation at all (as expected).
