When you use a riptide trident, switch to another item quickly. You will see that in the picture, the item looks like as if the trident was charging up.

bedrock has a very poor inventory system that needs to be fixed. I detail this well in https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-78355
(duplicate / relates to), you should add this image to it
I tried it and it last for the duration of your hitbox. I think this should be works as intended. The animation shows when your riptide hitbox is active and your hitbox is active even if you switch items, so it should still play. Your character still has their hand in front of them, ready to stab/punch anything in front of them with the momentum they have. Switching items also allows you to control damage dealt, allowing fist damage if a good friend gets in your way or sword damage if you just want to do high damage without recharging riptide. My hotbar did not flicker or improperly switch, so this should not be related to MCPE-78355, as this is simply switching items while an animation is playing. I could see this being a bug if the item were to basically leave your hand (this is what happens in Java), but I think this here, the correct animation, should be works as intended.
Thank you for your report!

Does it stay that way, or is it just a momentary flicker?
