I guess my previous experience was a bug, sorry for the confusion. I am used to breaking gravel blocks which dropped gravel items with a chance for flint items, fortune just dropped more flint. That's been my experience on Android for years, so I'm flabbergasted. I do try to be thorough before reporting, and I do apologize. Thank you for illuminating me.
I don't think there was such a bug. When quantities of gravel are mined with Fortune I or II, it increases the ratio of flint vs. gravel items dropped, which looks similar to the way Fortune increases the number of items dropped when mining an ore. That flint works differently isn't really obvious unless you're using Fortune III on gravel and paying attention to how many blocks you break and how many flint items drop. That's probably why you thought it worked like ore.
Works correctly. Fortune 3 on gravel gives 100% chance of flint drop - so you always get flint (Silk Touch, on the other hand, gives 100% for gravel to drop). You will not get multiple flint.
