After updating to 1.21.120 (GDK update) any books written before the update now have broken formatting. Line breaks will randomly shift down or dissapear, some pages have centered or aligned entries ruined by premature wrapping, fixing the issue on one page will almost always cause another page to break, whenever you close the book after seemingly fixing all errors and open it again said glitch will occur again and formatting will be ruined, newly written books (after 1.21.120) seem to be unnafected suggesting only legacy book NBT data is broken by the update.
This is especially frustrating for players in survival/realm worlds who use books for coordinate logs, manuals, farm logs etc, as this corrupts existing documentation and makes critical pages completely unreadable and or sloppy looking.
Steps to reproduce:
Open a book written before updating to 1.21.120.
Flip through the pages, some will have shifted line breaks, cut off lines, or mangled formatting.
Try fixing one page (by retyping or shifting text)
Notice that another previously unbroken page now becomes glitched
Create a brand new book and write the exact same content, the formatting behaves normally.

I'm having the same issue on the latest version of Minecraft bedrock it occurs some of the time I'm not sure what causes it
The world was originally created on 1.19.60 i believe
I am unable to share the full world file as it contains private information like peoples real world names written on signs and in books. Since this is a public tracker where anyone can view and download said file, im not willing to upload it
There are no addons active, i am running the vanilla game
Yes
It seems to mostly occur with text formatted with bullet points like:
. Example text
. Example text
. Example text
. Example text
. Example text
After editing, closing, and reopening the book the text will all be jumbled and unformatted like this:
. Example text. Example text. Example text
. Example text. Example text
Hi!
Could you please write on which version your previous worlds with books were created?
Can you please share this world?
Do you use specific addons?
Does this occur every time?
Does it occur on specific text formatting?
