A tool enchanted with mending will not receive the repairing from mending if armour enchanted with mending is being worn, even if it is all at full durability.

Dockwonder I get that, but what i'm experiencing is that when the mending armour is at full durability, the XP that would have gone to the armour is not diverted back to the tool.
If the mending selects to go to an armour piece that happens to have full durability, you'll get exp. This is working as intended.
From the wiki:
"If multiple items have the enchantment, one will be chosen at random for each XP orb collected, and if the chosen item does not need repair, the XP will be added to the player's total as normal, rather than choosing another item to repair."
This still is messed up... i am on minecraft bedrock 1.16.4 via nintendo switch... my hel, chest, and leggins have mending fully repaired and my shovel has mending which is nearly broken but i just collected 25 stacks of cooked fish from furnaces and my shovels durability is still nearly depleted... please fix it by changing how xp is distributed... giving mending gear top priority regardless if it is in hand or not... as long as it is in the players inventory and has mending, it should recieve repair % points... please...
The xp mends randomly tools and armor, so it may be longer for a tool to repair if a full mending armor is equipped than if it was alone
