NOTE: May have been RESOLVED in the 1.8.1 Hotfix
Summary Description:
Intermittent Bug activated sometimes by:
(1) Non-text typing on sign
(2) Unknown things
Non-text typing to signs in a world on a Bedrock Realm activates a BUG that causes blanking of the final placed sign after playing in the realm for a few (5) minutes on multiple different computers.
Plain Text typing (no spaces or commas) seems to deactivate the BUG

Now Signs Don't Work AT ALL in my world on my REALM on several different computers. They work fine in this world when downloaded to the same WIN 10 Bedrock computer (same code), And they work fine sometimes for a few minutes after Save and Quit

UPDATE: BUG FIX: Download world from Realm. Type a sign. Upload world back to Realm. Now signs seem to work.
... 2:38 PM PST
UPDATE: Xbox Bedrock user made two signs in world on REALM, Win 10 user made 6 signs in REALM, then ONLY BLANK SIGNS can be placed. This is an Intermittent BUG.
..... 2:49 PM PST
UPDATE: BUG FIX: Save and Quit. Reload world in REALM, Signs sometime work again for a while (0-5 minutes).
..... 10:31 PM PST
UPDATE: BUG FIX: Don't use commas, spaces, symbols or underlines until this is fixed
PLAIN TEXT seems to work, spell out numbers, NO SPACES OR COMMAS
Non-text typing seems to activate the BUG
... 11:40 PM PST
UPDATE; BUG FIX: You can try lots of plain junk typing (no spaces) to fix the Bug
Lots of plain text junk typing seems to reset buffer (fix bug) so you can have these (stupid) no space or punctuation signs back.

It seems to be related to the profanity filter regarding personal names. Nobody on my realm can type "Dave's House" due to the filter but they are fine to type "Playername's House". I'm assuming it has something to do with protecting people's identity while online.

Same as me
I can't reliably place signs that aren't blank in the Nintendo Switch, but I can in Windows 10 – but the Windows 10 version will rewrite the entire sign completely, slowly, for each character changed if you type then delete some then type again – sometimes resulting in a jumbled-text sign or no text at all. So add Nintendo Switch (Bedrock Edition) to the list of affected machines.
