[MC-20965] I was making a minecart ride meanwhile I was shooting mobs with a bow. When I saw a pig under me, I shot the bow and the arrow instead hit and destroyed the minecart! This also happens to boats.

The way to find the bug is:
1. Make a small lake and put the boat inside it or make a small minecart circle and put the minecart in it. Include whatever kind of rail.
2. Gather a bow & arrow
3. Shoot the boat/minecart and it will be destroyed.

Shooting at the minecart/boat is intended; entities have health. This is why if you ram a boat into land fast enough it'll be destroyed.

Working as intended.

This problem also happened to horses and boats, which was fixed, since firing projectiles from any mount as a character is obviously annoying. Firing arrows from bows and crossbows that would have interfered with the minecart's hitbox, like they fixed on horses and boats, I think makes sense to fix too. They can still be shot by other players but the person riding it shouldn't be able to destroy the minecart by shooting it, especially when youre aiming at an enemy player nearby and it looks like youre shooting past the minecarts own sides. This has already been fixed with horses, and boats (kind of), but I don't see why it can't happen for minecarts. Again, they would still be destroyable by other players arrows, an exception should just be made for the rider's arrows.
