The thing is that if you grab a bow on a creative inventory, you tried to hold right click (dragging a bow) (First Time), the bow will flashes with an arrow on it for 0.1 second and the Bow will show that you are dragging a bow but with no arrow on it, for a second time it now works normally (dragging bow with arrow on it).

Forward-resolved towards MC-156884, which has been marked as fixed by a dev.
Confirmed and this only happens when using the bow for the first time in creative. This is new to 1.14.1 pre-release 1. Before, the bow was losing its draw when initializing in creative mode. Last fix with bows is MC-100946.
