Villagers give off blue 'water' particles when trying to trade

The bug

All villagers give off blue 'water' particles when right-clicking on them for trade. No trading GUI comes up at all. I can, however, trade with the wandering trader.
I have tried villagers in several different villages, and have had another player try as well only to get the same problem. Villagers appear to move around the village and visit their workstations, they are not stuck in a running loop.
