Sprinting players can perform sweep attacks after a single knockback attack
The player can perform sweep attacks on an entity while they are sprinting if they perform one 'knockback' attack first on their target.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Place down an armor stand
- Get a wooden sword
- (In survival) Start sprinting
- Attack the armor stand
- While continuing to sprint, attack the armor stand again
Expected Result:
The player would not be able to perform a sweep attack while sprinting.
Observed Behavior:
After the first hit on the armor stand, it will take knockback and no sweep attack occurs. All proceeding attacks onto the armor stand while sprinting will be sweep attacks.

Sweep Attacks sometimes occur when Sprinting
I'll sometimes be sprinting towards or around a mob to strafe, and end up performing a Sweep Attack. Sweep Attacks should only occur when Sneaking, Standing Still, or walking at a normal pace - never when sprinting.

Hey!
I can confirm that this issue is still present in 20w49a. It's quite simple to reproduce. Simply sprint and attack a mob and occasionally, you will notice that you'll perform a sweep attack. I've attached a video which shows this bug in action.
