This same glitch of the iron golem not reaching mobs being three blocks high (even though it can reach) also exists in Minecraft bedrock.

This same glitch of the iron golem not reaching mobs being three blocks high (even though it can reach) also exists in Minecraft bedrock.
Is this still a bug considering the mob attack reach changes in 23w33a?
@Thomas Holleman yes, this issue still exists.
Confirmed in 24w46a
Confirmed in 1.21.4 prerelease 2
Following that logic, players should only be able to reach 1 block away, but for a more balanced gameplay I'd say 2 to 2.5 blocks is good (Tools/weapons can increase that range).
How has this not gotten a WAI after the mob attack range changes from a while ago? Mob attack reach was specifically stated in the changelog to be changed to the hitbox extended horizontally for all mobs.
