Issue: Zombies that are left handed move their right hand as if their spear was in their right hand, even though the spear is most definitely in their dominant right hand.
Steps to replicate: Spawn zombies until one has the left handed tag. Use / item to give it a spear. Watch it turn, run, and stab.
Note: my screenshot included below is of a low quality taken through Legacy Free Cam. I have no reason to believe that they or their mod are responsible
Thank you.
Environment
Mods used: I used a variety of client-side mods NONE OF WHICH could affect this. I was also using programmer art. Criteria I discovered in: I was playing structureless survival superflat with MiniHud, (Legacy) Freecam, (Simple) Fullbright, Litematica, AppleSkin, (Simple) Fog Control, Mod Menu, Sodium, and any library mods affiliated. I use Prism Launcher (sorry Mojang) on a Windows 11 Windows Surface PC with no additional Java args, resource packs, shader packs, or skins. I have 7 saves on the instance one of which is of a large file size.

Can confirm for 26.1-snapshot-8 in vanilla Minecraft.
Commands:
/summon zombie ~ ~ ~ {equipment:{offhand:{id:"minecraft:iron_spear",count:1}}}/summon zombie ~ ~ ~ {equipment:{mainhand:{id:"minecraft:iron_spear",count:1}}}The zombie with the offhanded spear also changes the way it holds it once it attacks someone/something.
