Also happens on custom names. (added attachment)

So this is not just for text above the hotbar anymore.

Formatting codes are no longer supported. Although they may still work in some places, Mojang intends to replace them with their raw JSON text format system. It's unlikely that they'll fix any bugs caused by using the section sign (§) to format text. There may still be a valid bug here, but we'll need some other way to reproduce it.

What do you mean with "other ways"? The reporter provided a way to do it in vanilla. Even if Mojang is going to change the format, we don't know when, and in the meanwhile we have a format that isn't working as it should. A quick fix is necessary here.

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.10.2, or 16w42a) of Minecraft? If so, please update the affected versions and help us keeping this ticket updated from time to time.
