To reproduce:
make a pit of 2 blocks deep and get a skeleton/friend in it.
Got to survival mode.
sneak over the edge and ask your friend to shoot in your feet/wait untill the skeleton shoots on you. Ensure you don't get killed.
Move away and open your inventory.
❌ See that the arrow at the bottom of your player character renders over the item part in your inventory.
This bug might be intended, but it could be irritating.
A possible fix could be to shift the player character up, or making that the inventory background always renders over the player character.

MC-2791 is going about were the player looks at, not about the fact that it renders over the inventory.

Also, if you look at your inventory while flying straight down with an elytra the player character takes up like half of the inventory space but it is kind of cool. It probably is intended though.
