Partial or Disappearing Text on Signs

I first noticed the issue when I tried to type "3 Main St." on a wooden sign. I was able to type "3 Main S" with no problems, but if I typed anything past that point (whether it was "t" or "." or some other character) the text on the placed sign would vanish. It would still be visible on the sign where you can type the words, but the text on the placed sign disappeared, and would not show up when I stopped editing the sign. Also, every time I typed a letter, the words would briefly appear, then disappear again, including if I backed up past "3 Main S" (to about "3 Main").

I tried variations; "Three Main S" worked, but "Three Main St" did not. "Dolphin Lane" worked. "Nickelbolt's Warehouse" worked. "Shoga's Smithy" did not. Curiously, in the case of "Shoga's Smithy", "Shoga' Smithy" worked.

Not a huge issue, and certainly doesn't make the game less fun to play, but it is annoying when it pops up.

I'm playing in Minecraft Realms.

This is still an issue.  I've had this issue with multiple text values.  I'm not sure what the commonality is.  I'm currently making a trade hall and signs to indicate what enchantment each villager sells.  The values that have caused me issues recently are:  Sharpness V and Quick Charge III.

"Sharp V" worked, but "Sharpness V" did not.

"Quik Charge III" worked, but "Quick Charge III" and "Quick Chg III" did not.

Both signs were using the "§f" formatting codes.  Not sure whether that makes a difference or not.

Using version 1.16.0 on Realms.

Also not working: "Luck of the Sea III", "Luck o'the Sea III", "Luck/Sea III", "Luck", "Luc", "Luk"

I ultimately had to go with "LOTS III".

 

 

@unknown, this issue is now being tracked at REALMS-3491.

I still found issues with text disappearing from signs. After some time (maybe after saving and loading the world again?) two of my signs were empty. 
Texts:

“abwärts<newline>||||“

“WILLKOMMEN<newline>BEI<newline>MAC KNUDDEL‘s“

Note the special characters: pipe character and apostrophe. 

I‘m playing the world on Realms Plus, alternating with Windows and iPhone client.
