Did you type any characters at all? What device are you using? Normally on Xbox when I want an empty sign I just press the B (back) button after placing the sign and it stays empty.

If you just press B immediately without typing anything do you then get an empty sign?

Issue needs to reopen. The bug is still getting affected.
[Mod] Umija5895M
Does it always happen for you that the sign shows as {{ empty }}? Does it matter how fast you place the sign and exit the UI? Please include the exact buttons/keys you use to place the sign in your "steps" to reproduce. This is the most helpful information.
In general, the best way to get a ticket reopened is to submit a request on the Mojira discord https://discord.gg/rpCyfKV and this is also a great place to discuss bugs if you are interested.

Can reproduce that when you quickly exit the sign UI it will show up empty.

Doesn’t affect worlds, multiplayer worlds. Only realms.

This bug may occur when moving while placing the sign, specifically:
Placing a sign while jumping, then adding a new line will produce {{ empty }} (appears to be more common on the upward motion).
Placing a sign while pressing
S(Win 10) to move backwards and not letting go, then removing the text, then adding a new line will produce ## empty }}.Placing a sign while moving backwards but releasing before anything can be typed, then adding a new line, then repeating this several times will produce {{ empty }}.
The production of ## empty }} and {{ empty }} when adding a new line will always occur on subsequent signs after performing any of the above three, and possibly more ways. Note that other than the new line nothing else should be typed on the sign.
Placing a sign without any movement, then typing some text (and possibly entering a new line) will clear the bug, but it can return using the above steps.
