MCPE-19508Block breaking amount is not reset when switching from one item to another
When breaking a block, if you switch your selected item to a different one, the amount the block has broken remains the same. This allows the player to use a tool (ex. pickaxe) and then swap to another item and keep breaking, causing no durability loss.

The bug
When you're holding left click to mine blocks, and you use the scroll wheel to switch tools, you immediately stop mining altogether. You have to release the mouse button then click it again to resume mining.
If you use the number key to switch slots, it works just fine.
This is extremely annoying when e.g. you encounter a patch of dirt or gravel, try to switch to your shovel and instead of quickly clearing it, you stop mining.
According to MCPE-19508, this started happening in 1.14.
Can confirm on a Nvidia Shield K1
Confirmed to affect 1.0.6.0.
This can be easily reproduced by breaking a beacon:
• Start to break a beacon with a diamond pickaxe
• Just before it breaks, switch to a wooden pickaxe
• The beacon drops, and the diamond pickaxe remains undamaged, even though it did the majority of the breaking.
In 1.14 it seems as though it stops you altogether, requiring you to release and re-click the mouse button
iPad Pro 12.9” Gen 1 on iPadOS 13.4 with Minecraft 1.14.30.
I have attempted to recreate this in 1.14.30 and can no longer do it. A change was made to the controls that made it so once you are mining, the touchbar can no longer be touched. Preventing you from changing tools and thusly recreating this bug. Unless there is a platform of the game that still allows you to switch tools while mining, this bug should be closed as either Fixed or Unable to Reproduce.
Confirming previous comments that in 1.14 versions switching to a new tool/hotbar spot causes you to stop mining altogether. Tested in Windows 10 PC. That fixes this bug.When you use the mouse scroll wheel to switch hotbar spots it stops you mining. However, when you use number keys to switch hotbar spots you resume mining with the new tool. Block breaking progress does not reset. The tool that finishes the mining takes the durability loss and also determines what drops when the block is broken.
Still an issue in 1.16.210.54 Beta.
