Cannot type in name!

So, I was using the different color codes when suddenly The underscore _ disappeared when I was typing, Now I can no longer have a name and I cant join servers because of it. I have a picture of my settings with no name...
It only appears to work on 0.11.0 because of the new colors but I haven't updated to 0.11.1 yet because it doesn't say anything about color idk...

Been happening to me too. Its really frustrating. This happened to my sister, and she re-downloaded the app. She was then able to change her name.

Please don't write in caps

I am having the same problem since yesterday morning in NZ roughly 8:30am and I was playing around with the colours on my name and then I couldn't type anything and I was so annoyed about this. So I searched for places to report this bug and I have read that you could re-download mcpe but I didn't want to lose all my worlds and now I have read that it has been fixed but it hasn't with mine so if you could help me that would be great!!!
Please write back...

You should be able to re-install game without losing maps. It don't delete maps at me when game is uninstalled.

peter divers you can get a fresh version of options.txt and replace the current one with the fresh one

So if I re-install mcpe I won't loose any worlds? How can you be so sure?

I made a Tutorial how to remove the bug on YouTube:

The current temporary solution is to fix/replace your options.txt to correct the name or, if you can't do that, to uninstall and reinstall the app (this will not affect your singleplayer worlds, but you will have to reenter your servers). Rilow06, I can be so sure because I've done it many many many times as part of testing MCPE.

Please post any further comments on MCPE-8750 (which I've reopened) and vote for that issue to get it fixed sooner than other bugs.
