Bow won't shoot on servers

When I play on servers, my bow often won't shoot at all when I release my right mouse key and switch to another place in my hotbar too quickly. I think that's probably because bow shots, just like other throwable items, seem to be very much delayed in general (see also my last bug report), which causes the input to be ignored completely when switching to another hotbar place too fast.

I don't know if this is the case in Survival worlds as well since I mainly play PvP on servers right now, but it is definitely extremely annoying and has caused many unnecessary deaths for me, as other players got me in a combo quite easily because of the bug.

P.S.: I neither have a bad PC (RTX 4090, i9 14900K, 64GB RAM) nor a bad ping (around 15ms).

I think I now figured out what the reason was: I used the reduced input latency setting, which can be found in the video settings. When I turned that off, my inputs seem to get executed more consistently.

If this really was the reason, then please state in the question mark explanation that this is an experimental feature that can cause inconcistent input reactions.
