 Description   

Shearing a sheep or mooshroom in survival works once when the durability of the shears is perfect, but after that when the green durability bar appears, the Shear button will not appear and only comes back if you repair the durability back to 100%.

The shears work fine on grass and leaves despite this bug. In creative, they also work fine, unless you convert from survival to creative with damaged shears in your inventory. Then those shears keep their damage (but the green bar disappears) so you have to drop those shears and get another from the creative inventory for them to work again.

Interestingly, this bug does not affect 0.16.2. So it looks like it must have gotten broken again in the 1.0 beta.
