The bug
Right-clicking on a full water cauldron with a bucket of water plays hand animation and empties the bucket.
It doesn't happen with lava cauldrons (and lava buckets), and with powder snow cauldrons (and powder snow buckets).

You added 20w46a, but I can’t reproduce this in 20w46a.
Right clicking an emypty cauldron with an emypty bucket or an empty glass bottle doesn’t play hand animation and also allows using the item in offhand. Right clicking a full water cauldron with a water bucket does play the hand animation, but that is not wrong, since you empty the water into the cauldron, like you can empty a bucket into a source block and right clicking a full water cauldron with a water bottle also doesn’t play hand animation, you will drink the bottle instead. This seems to fixed in 20w46a. (I think, this has already been fixed in 20w45a.)
It still plays an animation (and empties bucket) in a full water cauldron - inconsistent with lava and powder snow cauldrons.
The inconsistency is being tracked at MC-204016.
[MC-222422] was resolved as WAI so I don't think this is intentional.
In 1.16.1 and 20w29a
