The bug
When an arrow bounces off of you because you are in Creative mode or blocking with a shield, the arrow drops as item instead of landing on the ground. This applies only to arrows a survival player can normally collect.
How to reproduce
Have the following command running on a slow clock and be in Creative mode or block with a shield
/execute at @p run summon arrow ~7.1 ~2.1 ~ {Motion:[-1d,0.155d,0d],pickup:1b}
The reason
The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.10 using MCP 9.30.
The method net.minecraft.entity.projectile.EntityArrow.onHit(RayTraceResult)
is responsible for that. This behaviour is probably intended.

Can confirm in 21w05a. Either duplicates or relates to MC-162551.
Can you still replicate this issue? I cannot seem to reproduce this in 1.20.3 RC 1 following the provided steps. While the arrow has a bit of unusual behavior floating above the player, it never drops as an item but instead lands on the ground as expected.
