Thanks to MC-302725 (Spears have less maximum reach than swords in creative mode), in creative mode it’s possible to see the opposite effect: the spear is out of range but the attack indicator appears.
It seems that the attack indicator always responds to the range assigned to the other melee weapons (3 blocks in survival, 5 blocks in creative), while the range of the spears is always 4.5 blocks.
And they do not show the on-hover indicator when you can still hit an entity with the 0.25 hitbox inflation on spear attacks. Would be nice if the more detailed report MC-302752 was kept instead of this one.
Confirmed.
