Thanks
I can not repair the bow, with a new one. When I took the new bow in the second slot, the new calculated level are visible for one second. In the end, I can not repair the bow.
I am using MC 1.4.4
I added some photos of the bow not being repaired by either of the used materials
Confirmed.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.6.4 / Launcher version 1.2.5 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
With the recent enhancements to fishing mechanics, being able to properly repair enchanted fishing rods is now more important. Please fix this ( after a year and a half? ).

I can understand that repairing with sticks and string is too cheap, but why are you unable to repair hoes, shears and flint and steal?
Could you please change the title of this report to for example: "Unable to repair certain items with materials needed to craft them"

Dinnerbone was the one who resolved this report as intended. I will however mark it for review.
Do you mean "can't" repair them?
