Throwing a splash potion of harming or lingering potion of harming at a zombie or skeleton deals no damage.
When you throw harming potions at undead creatures, they are actually healed. To deal damage using potions on undead creatures, you need to use a healing or poison potion.
ah so it isn't a bug!
Typo, not poison potion.
