I created a world on 1.7. Then I upgraded it to 1.8 and new words appeared on signs, when I went back to 1.7 they disappeared. Item frames were on floor, earlier they were on walls.
I wrote only Shop and Spectator (without "")

The reason I think this is a bug is because it's not a reverse compatibility error, but rather a forward-compatability one. Signs made in 1.7 should show up right in 1.8, but it seems they are instead placing a string reading "null" where they should have a blank (empty, null) line.
As I was saying, the main part of this bug report has nothing to do with downgrading. The bug happens during an upgrade from 1.7 to 1.8 and signs with empty lines showing the string "null" instead of showing null (nothing, empty space, etc.). I think this is a valid bug, but it has yet to be confirmed.
No, its not. Dupe of MC-59102
Interesting, it looks like all of the signs with empty lines on them output a STRING "null" instead of the CONTENTS null (nothing). Seems like a small bug in sign format compatibility between versions. With the items on the floor in 1.7, it is KNOWN that 1.8 is not reverse-compatible. You cannot take a 1.8 version and go back to 1.7, as things will irreversibly break.
An interesting bug with signs. Probably a simple syntax error, but I don't know.
