Windows 10 using latest Spigot

 Description   

When you enter a boat, for some reason it instantly triggers a VehicleExitEvent. This behavior can be tested with the following (Kotlin) code:

 

@Plugin(name = "TestPlugin", version = "1.0")
class TestPlugin : JavaPlugin(), Listener {
    override fun onEnable() {
        super.onEnable()
        server.pluginManager.registerEvents(this, this)
    }

    @EventHandler
    fun onVehicleExit(event: VehicleExitEvent) {
            server.logger.info("Vehicle exit called for %s".format(event.exited.type.name))
    }
}

 

When you enter a boat, it instantly calls a VehicleExitEvent for some reason. This does not happen with entities like Minecarts, and I don't expect this to happen when entering a boat

It's not that simple and possibly not even a bug we can fix.
If you look you will also see there are two enter events.

This is because the client is trying to enter the boat with both its main hand and its off hand.
It first enters with the main hand, then attempts to enter with the off hand. This causes the client to exit and then re enter the boat.
