Summary
On my Bedrock Realm, normal numeric text such as “2100” or “458” will intermittently appear normally when the sign is placed, but within 1-3 seconds the text is replaced entirely with pound signs (####).
This only happens on Realms.
In singleplayer/local worlds, the exact same text displays correctly and is never altered.
My account is an adult account and the profanity filter is disabled.
No inappropriate content is present — only building and/or room/suite numbers used for labeling buildings in a city environment.
Steps to Reproduce
Join a Realms server on Bedrock 1.21.130
Place a sign
Enter a number such as 2100 or 458 (the issue may not occur every time due to its intermittent nature)
Confirm the sign/close the text dialogue
Within a few seconds, observe the text change to #### (intermittently)
Expected Result
Text remains unchanged.
Actual Result
Text is replaced with #### intermittently.
Environment
Platform: Bedrock Edition (Windows 11)
Realm Type: Bedrock Realm (Server-side behavior)
Issue does not reproduce in local/singleplayer worlds
