Occasionally, squids will start floating above water, even though they should remain inside of it. While flying squid are a real thing, this does not seem to be intended behavior within Minecraft (given that it is highly inconsistent).
What I expected to happen was...
Squids are swimming happily in the sea
What actually happened was...
Some squids are flying, out of the ocean, up into the air.
Steps to Reproduce
This issue cannot be consistently reproduced, and seems to be highly lag-dependent. The attached setup can sometimes generate squids with this behavior, but it is rare.
Screenshots
Code analysis
Based on 1.11 decompiled using MCP 9.35 rc1
The problem is that the motion handling part of the code is only done server-side. This includes setting the horizontal motion (X and Z) to 0 and reducing the vertical motion (Y) when the squid is not in water.

Could you post screenshots? Also, was this SMP or SSP? If it was SMP, then this is indeed a lag issue.
If squids can't fly, I can't. I love that squids can fly, they can reach new goals and get out of glitchy spawns! I support flying squids 100%!
Reopened, see MC-49804
I didn`t tested in 1.12.2 or 18w03b, but I tested in 1.16.3 and it works, but they teleport back to the water. Also affects 1.16.4.

This should have never been a bug as squid can fly.

Squid can, in fact, fly.

If this was on a server, It was just server lag that caused this. I've seen this in all versions, and honestly its funny!
