Just a hunch, but could it be related to obscenity checking? Create a sign saying "Don't be a dick". Sign is immediately blank (which is not what I'm normally seeing... it goes blank later). I can't verify without reverting to older versions but in chat this would normally have been replaced by asterisks. Having said that, even a sign saying "Wholesome goodness" will still go blank if you leave too soon.

Seeing this also on our realm. Everything text related seems to be broken (or massively delayed).  Chat, sign text, renaming on anvil, etc.. All work, but only after a long delay (10-30 mins sometimes).

Seen this also (Windows 10).  Found if you write on a sign and exit Realm too soon, when you come back the sign text is empty. Only way to get it to 'stick' is be within the loaded chunk for a while... hope this helps.

Seeing this also on Windows 10 (v1.17.34). Any attempt to rename anything (stack or singular) just shows the red X. If you wait 5-10 minutes, sometimes the enchantment cost appears.  It seems to be related to all these lag issues we have been seeing of late (i.e. anything text related). If you create a Sign, the text won't get saved if unless you wait longer enough before exiting the realm. Chat messages take ages to come through and then come through all at once.  Not sure if it is related, but also getting regular disconnections from the server (I assume it has crashed) followed then by 5-10 minutes where you can't connect because it is now restoring the last backup (losing any progress you made).  Very frustrating...
