Arrows still hit the player if they are deflecte with the shield

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a shield in survival minecraft
2. Find a skeleton in survival minecraft
3. Deflect an arrow with the shield in survival minecraft

Observed Results:
The arrow won’t reflect as expected but either remain in the air and hit the player once the shield is lowered or the arrow will vanish.

Expected Results:
The arrow is expected to be reflected by the shield in the direction from where the arrow came or stick in the shield without hitting the player.

I was testing the new features in Snapshot 25w41a in survival (I had all expermientel settings enabled as well) and while protecting myself from skeletons shooting at me from below, I was on a tree, I noticed that the arrows didt reflect in their usual fashion but stayed in the air and continued to hit my character after I disengaged my shield.

The error should be reproducable by having a skeleton shoot at you while you tried to defend yourself with a shield. The Arrow is expected to stick to the shield while in the air and fall down on you after you take down the shield.

Environment

Overworld at night or in caves while fighting skeletons with a shield equipped.
