After fully readying bow with arrow and then switching to other item on hotbar (ex. Sword) when going to crafting table and try to craft arrows, will not craft arrows until bow releases arrow. Have to back out of crafting table, shoot bow, pick up arrow, then return to crafting table to craft arrows.
Has something to do with locking active arrow in use.
Has never been fixed. Still persists in new updates and hotfixes.
Just thought you might want to know.

Unable to reproduce. Perhaps your crafting recipe for arrows is wrong?
Please can you attach a picture of your crafting?
There. Hope your happy. Currently on 1.16.40. so don't tell me I'm making this up or that I need to update.
I'll be running around killing mobs heading home, using my bow and arrows, quickly switch to sword, kill them off, get home, and that's when the glitch happens.
Whether I try to make a single or a whole batch, I have to shoot an arrow to unlock arrow crafting.
Xbox One S, GamePass Ultimate. My world size is something like 388.1mb. Playing vanilla infinite survival.
Doesn't happen in creative because... Well, creative.
So, are you using addons
Nope.
When this issue happens are you able to remove the existing arrows from your inventory or even move them to a different slot? Possibly this is the same cause as MCPE-70591.
Well, it happened again, and I wasn't even trying to craft arrows but move them from one chest to my inventory, and they locked up on me like before. I will go check other issue.
But since then, my world corrupted and I really refuse to put any effort into Bedrock anymore.
Yup. Same issue. I have to fire bow to unlock arrows. Doesn't matter if I am crafting or trying to move from chest to inventory.
One thing I've noticed is it has something to do with switching to another weapon after the bow has been loaded and completely readied. Then I switch to sword and immediately begin to hack away. That tends to do the trick. I gave up on this issue reporting after the a-hole accused me of pirating. Thank you for removing that. However, I am not impressed with support after that.
Feel free to share my video link to the other issue. It doesn't matter if you craft or try to take from chest. The arrow gets locked up. Funny thing is, when you go back to bow, you have to completely ready it all over again and make sure to release. You're going to need to add some IF values for when player switches without firing. But hey, not my job.
Thank you for your report!
