I was using a diamond shovel to dig dirt. In my inventory I had a diamond pickaxe, not equipped. I had no other shovel or pickaxe. Suddenly the sound changed and I was using a diamond pickaxe. I immediately stopped using it. Then to my surprise in my inventory there were TWO diamond pickaxes, with identical durability and no diamond shovel. I was shocked, switched tools, and experimented a bit, but did not regain the diamond shovel. I am quite sure the two pickaxes showed up for quite some time. Finally I returned to my base in order to craft a new diamond shovel. Guess what? As soon as I started crafting, my inventory showed ONE diamond pickaxe and ONE diamond shovel with more or less the expected durabilities.

I'm not sure what happened with your issue, but I have had an odd glitch that may or may not relate to this. If you use a diamond tool with unbreaking on it, after it breaks (ironically), you can sometimes get the very low durability tool back if you place an item in the slot it was in. Using the tool a couple more times will finish it off.
I'm not sure if this has been fixed in 1.8, and if it isn't, I'm not sure if it works with tools other than diamond ones.
This is MC-1040
Well, I was using a shovel, not a pickaxe. So strictly speaking, it's not MC-1040. That is about pickaxes. Also, my shovel was not near breaking before it disappeared and after it reappeared. So it is not exactly Aarons glitch either.
OK. I'm somewhat new here and have not figured out the exact way to search for issues.
@JE Jonker He was talking about MC-1040 being my glitch.
I will try to search for certain issues before posting comments from now on.
Were there any mods being used when this happened?
If not, I will try to see if I can reproduce it.
If it was modded, then this is invalid.
Steps to reproduce ?
