I have yet to see anyone report this. I have a world that I've had since either 1.4 or 1.5 something, but I have never had this problem before. I've been using books and quills in this particular world as sort of diary-keeping. I'm writing down what happens all the day etc etc then signing then and putting them in a special chest.
Point is, before I updated, I was in the middle of one such book. Page 24. Every time I write in it, the text sticks around until I either switch between creative and survival or vice versa (it might just be one of them but I'm not sure since I wasn't keeping track) or I save and quit. Then the text is gone.
It's really stressing me out cuz I can't continue playing on that world if I can't keep track of things. It's the whole point of it. And my only other world is one I play with my boyfriend. I'd really appreciate it if this could get fixed, or there's some way to work around it, anything.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. I checked and my old launcher for minecraft was set in 1.5.2, but when I went back there and tried, the text still vanished. Btw, it's actually only when I switch from creative to survival, not the other way around, that it vanishes. Doesn't really matter though since it vanishes when I quit too.
Looks like I'm just gonna have to make a new world. Maybe it had problems cuz I kept it around through so many versions. There's approximately 100-200 blocks just on the surface that still belong to version 1.4 something, so...idk. I'm sure that doesn't help things, probably makes random glitches start to occur.
Thanks for suggesting that, though. I feel like there isn't any good reason it didn't work, but...oh well. And idk anything about why that happened to you, though that sucks.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.4 / Launcher version 1.3.8 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Approved in 1.7.10, yet I still don't know how to reproduce / what's the cause of it. Restarting minecraft / launcher did not work.
EDIT: I fixed it by removing ''illegal'' extra text on a page which you can't get without NBT editing. Might be the cause!
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Have you tried to create a new profile, remembering to select the game directory option and make a new directory, and then select the last version that worked without this issue. Copy the game to the saves folder in the new directory and make sure you don"t enable snapshots. May not fix the problem but should allow you to continue to play until a fix is made (if one is).
Don't know if there is any connection to your problem but I noticed in the description you spoke of the "text sticks around until you change between creative and survivor" I had an odd experience with the last snapshot, I was in creative when I quit, then I updated to the snapshot and when I logged back in I teleported and fell to my death - can't figure out how I could teleport if I was not also unable to die.
Hope this helps
