Lead not working on skeleton or zombie horse

The bug

Skeleton and zombie horses can't be leashed.

How to reproduce

  1. Get a lead in your inventory

  2. Do /summon zombie_horse or /summon skeleton_horse

  3. Right click on the horse with the lead

Undead horses are not supported.

This issue should be reopened as skeleton horses are in the game as of 15w38a.

I am seeing this issue as well in survival.

Confirmed for:

  • 15w42a The game just ignores the fact that the player is holding a lead. Right clicking a skeleton horse causes you to ride it, holding shift and right clicking it opens its inventory.

Same as Marcono1234 "15w42a The game just ignores the fact that the player is holding a lead. Right clicking a skeleton horse causes you to ride it, holding shift and right clicking it opens its inventory."
C'mon, 5 skeneton horses spawned next to my base and I can't do anything with them.

@unknown There's no need to remove old affected versions if you add a new one.

This is a deliberate design decision. Undead horses are OK with being ridden (with some reluctance), but they don't accept being owned, and definitely won't accept being leashed.

What's the point of having the option to ride them with commands then, if you can't lead them?

Thankfully Henrik, this was fixed. 

This report should probably be changed to "Fixed" now
