InteractItemEvent not fired

Issue Description
This is a bug that can be consistently reproduced. The nature of the issue is simple: InteractItemEvent.Primary is not fired in some specific cases, though it should be.

From what I've understood from this, this event should be fired when a player left clicks with an item, without aiming at a block (meaning, aiming either at the air or at an entity). In case I'm targetting a block, then InteractBlockEvent.Primary will be fired instead. The item is of course held in my main hand. And to prevent InteractBlockEvent.Primary from being fired along with InteractItemEvent.Primary, I used the following code:

if(event.getTargetBlock().getState().getType() == BlockTypes.AIR) {
    // Meaning that InteractItemEvent.Primary is already being fired
    return;
}

So far so good. In most cases, the InteractItemEvent.Primary event works perfectly fine. However, there is an issue in a very specific case: when I'm interacting with an item and almost targetting a block, but still too far for actually reaching it (proof that I'm too far is: the black lines indicating which block I'm targetting don't appear). In this case, neither InteractItemEvent not InteractBlockEvent are fired. Here is a gif showing an example: particles are fired when the event is called. As you can see, I start by clicking on the grass, firing the InteractBlock.Primary event. Then, I aim at the sky, firing the InteractItemEvent.Primary. But eventually, when I aim at those grass blocks while being too far to reach them, nothing is fired.

I don't believe there is any need for including code samples, let me know if you disagree, I'll post my code.
