The wither only needs to hit you once with his wither skull and the effect last for a long time until you die
Comments 5
Are you stating that the bug is with the Wither II effect from it's Wither Skull attack, stating that the Wither II effect is exceeding it's 10 second duration and lasting indefinately until you either die or drink a bucket of milk?
If this is what you mean by your bug report, then that is a bug and is not working as intended as the Wither II effect should not exceed 10 seconds when hit with a Wither Skull of either variant.
Good catch, I did forget to mention the 40 seconds on Hard Difficulty, still, the reporter then needs to determine their game difficulty and test to see how long Wither II lasts when they are hit.
If it does exceed 10 seconds from a single hit on Easy and Normal Difficulties, and exceeds 40 seconds on Hard, then there is an issue, especially if the Wither II effect is lasting indefinately. The reporter of this bug will need to provide this information for the report.
Thank you for your report!
