As of 1.16.200, this bug only occurs with crafted items.
Steps to Reproduce:
Place and open a crafting table
Craft a tool, weapon, or piece of armor
Place the item in the hotbar
Try to use or drop the item
Original Description:
Some items don't properly register in the inventory until you use an item.
Additional information from MCPE-105931: @@unknown
This only occurs when the player uses the creative inventory to put a weapon or tool in the player's inventory or hotbar. It does not occur with items picked up from the ground or obtained with the /give command.
The item can be put directly into the hotbar, or put into the inventory first and then moved to the hotbar.
The bug occurs in any game mode as long as it was obtained from the creative inventory. So for example, if you give yourself a trident in creative, then switch to survival, and then try to use or drop it, you will still experience this bug.

UPDATE: Its been fixed for when you grab an item from the Creative Inventory, but this bug still occurs when you Modify or Craft an item.
Same problem on 1.17.34. Crafted tools don't work until you try to break a block or right click a block.
