Hostile mobs will sometimes stop attacking/following their target when directly next to it

The bug

Hostile mobs attack players, villagers and iron golems normally, but sometimes they will just stop following the player for about a second. Sometimes it will stay next to the player if the player stays still. A video evidence and screenshot shown as proof.

These are the mobs I know so far who will sometimes stop attacking you for 1 second and staying next to you. Rest of them seems to work normally:

  • Vindicators
  • Zombified Piglins
  • Zombies/Zombie Villagers/Husks/Drowned
  • Endermen
  • Wither Skeletons
  • Silverfish
  • Endermites
  • Dolphins 

(This relates to the latest report I just created: MC-148243)
