Shield glitch

I was calmly mining in the cave; I had already gathered 9 diamonds, 62 iron, and was about to head home when suddenly, out of nowhere, a skeleton attacked me. I decided to fight it. I hit it once and raised my shield. I was already feeling uneasy because there was lava behind me and the skeleton in front.  

The second hit nearly killed the skeleton, and I thought it was about to shoot. And it did! I immediately raised my shield, but for some reason, the arrow went straight through it, and I fell into the lava, losing all my resources...

😊👍😁  

This kind of thing has happened before, but it’s the first time I’ve ever wanted to smash my €105 keyboard.  

Developers, please fix this!
