If you make an dispenser using the recipe book, it uses your special full enchanted bow (even if you have basic bows in inventory) . If you click to fast (like i did) your bow is gone...
How to reproduce it:
1. Go to Inventory and grab a stack of cobblestone, redstone, one enchanted bow and then one or more basic bows and crafting table. I had enchanted bow higher in my inventory than the basic bow.
2. Now open the Crafting Table and make a dispenser using the recipe book. It uses your nice enchanted bow.
Prior to this update the enchanted bow would not be automatically placed into the recipe. Please fix.

Confirmed on Android Bedrock 1.12 on LG Q6. I even had a new mundane bow in my inventory specifically intended for use in the dispenser recipe, but upon selecting the item in the recipe book, it defaulted to grabbing my enchanted OP bow. That sucked. I clicked the output dispenser item before I even realized it then wondered why I was missing an enchanted bow and holding a mundane bow in my inventory.
Hoping this bug is remedied. Dispensers should ONLY ever use mundane bows in the crafting recipes.
Confirmed this behavior still exists in 1.12.1. Surely, this is not WAI and should have been a simple bug to squash?
1.13.0 Confirmed FIXED on Android 8.1 LG Q6 on Realms.
Recipe defaults to a mundane bow now and will not accept an enchanted bow in place.
Hope this stays fixed!
Would be good if this could be confirmed as fixed by a dev. I'm still not willing to keep my good enchanted bow in my inventory when crafting dispensers. Also wondering why this was never "confirmed" in the bug tracker for 1.12 and 1.12.1 as it was easy to reproduce?
I just tried this in 1.14.30 and it is not fixed!
Video uploaded showing dispenser crafting with enchanted bows.
Probably the illusion that enchanted bows cannot be used is due to dispensers requiring undamaged bows, and most often our enchanted bows have some damage.
In 1.16.40 on Xbox, an Enchanted Bow (damaged or not) will not automatically get used when the dispenser is chosen from the recipe book. However, you can still manually place an enchanted bow (damaged or not) into the crafting grid and craft a dispenser.
Can confirm, I lost my enchanted bow to this problem as well, shift clicked on the dispenser on the left on accident and bow just gone.
