Eating occasionally won't stop

Occasionally when trying to eat one item from a stack, and releasing the button as soon as the item is eaten, the server thinks I am still eating and will have me eat another item later. This is unexpected and often wastes food. The client is not making the eating/chewing noises for the second item, but does make the burp finished eating sound. This doesn't always happen, and I haven't been able to determine exact repro steps, but I also can't seem to reliably avoid it without switching held/active item away from the food after eating. This bug has been present for many versions now.
