Confirmed for 1.8-pre1.
Only semi-fixed in 1.8-pre2: You can still block while mining a block, which pauses the block breaking animation and will keep it around until the right mouse button is released, even when you walk away. Please re-open.
You are straight-up awesome at finding interesting bugs!
What do you feel would be a good fix for this issue? As it's no longer possible to begin breaking a block while blocking with a sword, I think it should also not be possible to begin blocking while breaking a block. Your thoughts?
That's probably the best (and easiest) way to fix this, it would be consistent with the prior fix too.
In 1.8pre2 I have had similar experencies with progress still displaying, but then when dieing (of starvation) or when not reaching the block anymore, (Mining a block thats half out and half in reach and moving the mouse a little too much.)

The same happens when you are mining and a mob (I used a jumping horse) stand betwheen you and the block and you hit him, the breaking texture will still be there even though you stopped mining.
I think this is probably fixed now per MC-70359.
I cannot confirm this happens in 1.8 by blocking or eating, why was it actually reopened

Confirmed in 1.8 by first mining, then blocking/eating.
Probably best to resolve this as a duplicate of MC-70359 since that one covers more and has been marked as fixed already.
Confirmed for 14w30c. Also added screenshots. It also continues even if you move what block you're facing
