Hi folks, thanks. Definately not a nitwit; just a browncoat villager. It randomly bred when the villagers desynched from beds as they frequently do.
I only had a 'clean redstone' and 'transparent pumpkin' resource pack on. I was unable to connect to realms when I started testing for my reply, so I tried on a backup I downloaded of the current world last night after finishing.
The villager accepted a trade (both lectern and smithing station), multiple times, straight off the bat with the download, with the packs active.
I then removed and added the resource packs in varing combinations; both they were still accepting trades.
When the realms came back up earlier I logged on leave both resource packs connected and the villager did not accept the trade first time, but then when I did it again immediately did.
I am totally lost for what to say. I spent hours testing this before submitting a bug report, as it was repeating over several days play, but now it is just working.
Is it possible just something janky with the realm? The villagers; particularly the beds which keep desynching relentlessly is so frustrating, and the proffession blocks doing the same is nearly as bad?
We have the same bug on our realm as reported above, but it seems to be on all pages not just the first, and it also makes no difference signing it; after closing the text is still gone when reopened. It seems to be for all players. We tried placing on a lectern, and passing books between players. Same result.
When we download the same world and play on it locally, either single player or with friends joining the books behave completely fine
