Alternative Summary/Title: "sign GUI does not match final product"
On our Realm, I've tried naming a Sign, however Line Breaks don't get registered. I've Tried that on a different World (not realm) and had no issues... why is that?
[media]This could be somewhat related to MC-99863, but I'm not sure.

Notes:
-(/) More testing should be done- Bug Confirmed, no more Testing needed, yet still appreciated_(?) Maybe a Temporary Workaround with special characters (?)__(?) The cause of the issue (Client side ~(less likely, due to Attachement 1)~ or {+}Server side{+}?)_

Can confirm this only works on realms. Have not yet found a workaround but I know special characters like the section sign are also affected by said bug.
Padding out blank lines with spaces doesn't work as a workaround. This is really messing with the formatting on a few signs I'm trying to place next to each other. Also confirming for 1.17.11 (happening on realm, both XBox and Win10).
I added myown experience with signs, it has yet to happen to me with a book. It occured on a realm while I'm on my phone.
Since all the linebreak-related issues seem to be getting funneled to this tracker, I will add what I have observed about book and quills on a Realm.
When attempting to make a bulleted list in a book and quill, I encountered an issue whereupon any text on an EVEN numbered page would lose its linebreaks. Any lists formatted the same on an ODD numbered page would retain that formatting. While editing the book, linebreaks would remain, but the moment I close the book (not sign and close, just exit out of the book and quill interface), and reopen it, text on even numbered pages would have all their text pulled back into a single wrapped line, causing characters that I set to denote the beginning of a new line for readability to wind up in various spots on the page.
And in another book, it was the reverse: ODD pages lost linebreaks while EVEN pages kept theirs. But so far, it was never both at the same time, in any one book and quill. It was either Even broke while Odd worked, or Even worked while Odd broke. So at least there is some sort of pattern there, even if it seems to vary between two versions of the pattern.
Observation for book & quill
Using a censored word seems to trigger this issue.
Two things seem to occur:
-The affected page will no longer be able to use line breaks.
-Writing on another page will cause the affected page to go blank.
Deleting the affected page will allow the book to maintain its structure.
Same, Bedrock on the Xbox. Seemed like it only did it sporadically for me before one of the more recent updates but now it happens on every sign.
