Shooting eggs like a machine gun

When you tap and hold to shoot eggs in Creative, you shoot eggs like a machine gun. Not sure if this happens in Survival.

What I expected to happen was...:
To shoot only one egg

What actually happened was...:
Many eggs shot repeatedly

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a Creative mode world
2. Select eggs
3. Tap and hold to throw eggs, you will throw a LOT
