Tellraw doesn't work on command signs

You require quotes around all keys since the first 1.9 snaoshot

Nmoleo: Please provide exact steps to reproduce.

FVBico: This is a 1.8.8 ticket.

O whoops
Hehe
Since so many got reported about 1.9 I automaticly assumed this was the same issue 😛

FVBico: Like

/tellraw @a [{"text":"hi!"}]

? Will that work in command signs?

redstonehelper: Put a tellraw command in a command sign click event, and you can't give yourself the sign.

FVbico: That's fine. 1.9 is coming soon, so if I have to wait until 1.9 to put tellraw commands in command signs, I will.

Yes that

Redstone helper asked for the command used, then provide it

The command used:

/give @p sign 1 0 {BlockEntityTag:{Text1:"{text:\"Click for tellraw!\",clickEvent:{action:\"run_command\",value:\"/tellraw @a [{text=\\"Hello!\\"}]\"}}"},display:{Name:"Custom Sign"}}

Invalid as double escapes require three backslashes.

The command should be:

/give @p sign 1 0 {BlockEntityTag:{Text1:"{\"text\":\"Click for tellraw!\",\"clickEvent\":{\"action\":\"run_command\",\"value\":\"/tellraw @a {\\\"text\\\":\\\"Hello!\\\"}\"}}"},display:{Name:"Custom Sign"}}
