I play Minecraft Bedrock on the Nintendo Switch, Something I noticed recently after starting to use the crossbow is that when I load the world, the crossbow icon is in its default form in my hotbar and inventory. But once I load an arrow into it, it will remain in it's drawn back state even after firing the arrow. The reload animation is still the same but the sprite won't change back to its non-arrow state.
Thank you for your report!
