When holding shift you are unable to fall off blocks which is normal but in 1.15.2 and below when you had levitation you were able to float off them. This has changed in 1.16.2 with this no longer being possible, instead you get stuck on the edge of the block.
To recreate this
open 1.16.2 go into a world with cheats enabled.
Then find a drop of a few blocks
give yourself levitation 255 `effect give @s levitation 10000 255`
Hold down shift and try walk off the block.
In 1.15.2 you can walk off the block and stay floating where in 1.16.2 you get stuck and are unable to.

Hi this bug is for 1.16.2 as its something that happens in 1.15 but not 1.16 where it should
I don't think this issue is fixed. It still affects 1.17.1 and all the way up to 1.18 Pre Release 5. I was testing this issue since you can sneak on ledges like this and not fall off even when with a high X/Z velocity but a low enough Y velocity to not launch over the 0.6-block threshold placed above blocks. This is especially an issue with servers/map-making when trying to launch players off platforms which they can just avoid by sneaking.
I attached a video showing it.
Thank you for your report!
