Boomerang - client doesn't catch?

[StelioKontos]

As a client connected to my friend's server, I didn't manage to catch the boomerang with space, it just fell onto the ground in front of me and I had to pick it up. While I could see my friend had no problem with it. Is it a known bug?

I've seen that few times already, probably it's just temporary work around to not damage the client player.

I caught a boomerang. But I was the host.

the games I've played thus far the clients have had no issue catching the boomerang. I've been host and seen others catch it as well as being a client (with a fair amount of lag) and catching it myself. So I don't think its an issue everyone is having.

I've had the boomerang fall to the ground in front of me instead of me catching it, I've caught it, and I've also been smacked in the face with it, all while playing on other people's or dedicated servers. I don't ever host so I'm not sure about in that case but it seems really random to me (I also pretty much only play on servers that don't use any mods to do with the boomerang, or mods in general if they alter gameplay significantly or make the game way easier. "Regeneration" mod - i'm talking about you lolllllllll.)
