Every time I use a glow ink sac on a sign, the text disappears.
I've tested this with multiple texts, problem appears on unmodded bedrock realm.
*EDIT* text now disappearing on signs and books with or without ink/dye applied.

It's anything to do with text or writing, anvil renaming, writing in books, writing on signs or typing in chat, for realms atleast, if your friends don't see your sign then you know the sign is broken and also they don't see my chat messages
Yeah, I'm having this issues now too, what's weird is it just starting happening. I did a whole bunch of signs before this happened. I'm having text on sign just disappearing too. It's just odd. I'm having that old issue of anvils not letting you rename stuff occasionally as well. I'm on windows 10, playing on my realm, in bedrock.
I'm experiencing a similar problem with signs, also in Realms with 1.17.30, but not limited to Glow Ink. A standard dye also causes text to disappear. Unmodified signs seem to behave normally, though, i.e., text remained visible. This was tested with Birch and Dark Oak signs using Red dye, Yellow dye, or Glow Ink Sac.
When applying the dye/ink, the color change can seen for a fraction of a second, but then the text disappears.
As of 12/2/21 Any time any player including myself uses a dye or glow sac on a sign, the text becomes invisible instead of colored. Reloading the world or waiting for it to load does nothing, it remains blank permanently until broken. This wasn't an issue until the original bedrock world was uploaded onto realms. Issue has been ongoing since the first day, so about a month. This is even after 1.18.
Until this problem is fixed, is there any way to consistently make some sort of sign with text? For example, can I do it if I use a certain kind of wood or avoid certain characters? Right now, I can't seem to figure out a way, and it's a bummer since signs are the only way for a player to communicate with offline players, i.e., when chat isn't an option.
Can this bug be re-named? It should be something that reflects the current issue, and eliminate the reference to dyes and glow ink sacs.
Proposed replacement: Text disappears on signs and in books
Why? As noted in the bug's description:
*EDIT* text now disappearing on signs and books with or without ink/dye applied.
The more general problem with text disappearing from signs is tracked at REALMS-9191, and from books at REALMS-9223.
I've found this happens when you try to use any dye on a sign :^(
Curious, hopefully it gets resolved soon.
