When playing Minecraft I noticed, during the breaking of a grass block, if a block item is picked up, the breaking of the grass block is either reset or "Goes back in time" and takes longer to break.
I expected to be mining grass and collecting dirt.
When I would pick up dropped dirt blocks the breaking of the grass block would reset or take a little longer.
1. Select Dirt in your hotbar.
2. Start breaking grass.
3. As you update the amount of dirt by either picking up dirt or dropping it the block damage will reset.

I can only reproduce this if I am punching the dirt with an empty hand, and then pickup an entity from the ground, which causes the switching tool issue as Tails has linked. Otherwise, picking up a block while mining another block doesn't cause it to start mining from the beginning.
Final part of description of MC-3333 refers to block breaking reset on pickup of block entity
Thing is; This was supposed to prevent cheating on durability by switching tools. However, when any aspect on the itemstack in changes the damage is reset. This is incorrect, since durability and count changes should not affect the mining of a block. So it's a bug created by a previous fix.
