Command Blocks not accepting proper /give commands

Under certain circumstances, the command block will not perform the wanted action with the "/give" command

example:

While trying to make the command block give the item "chiseled stone" I typed in the command "/give @p 98:3 1", after activating it it gave me nothing.

I then tried "/give @p 98;3 1" and "/give @p 98-3 1" and neither worked

then, trying "/give @p 98 3 1" it gave me 3 mossy stone bricks, "/give @p 98 3" also gives the player mossy stone bricks.

I am not sure what to make of this bug, but it is rather strange and simply want to make sure you know of it.

Sincerely,
Vorland
