When gliding and trying to use fireworks to fly the game sometimes doesn't let you use the fireworks and you have to land and take off again.

I can confirm this has been around since 1.2 The Better Together Update
Also does this on PC 1.2.11 for me.
This is quite annoying as it often results in death - e.g. when jumping off a cliff in the nether above a lava ocean trusting that fireworks will boost you only to fly into lava and die with extremely valuable gear in your inventory.
Still affects the latest beta. The player does glide but the fireworks don't give a boost unless the player deactivates and reactivates the elytra mid-flight or on the ground.
Thank you for your report!

This has started happening to me in the last couple of days (Xbox One S), however even landing doesn't guarantee that the rockets will be usable again, the bug seems intermittent and random as I can't find a particular set of circumstances that causes the problem.
