Still happening in the most recent 1.21 snapshots.
This issue is still present in the game as of 23w05a.
It's a very small optimisation, just to get a few nanoseconds, but that's still an improvement when a lot of colored text is being rendered. It's not much, but for the time it takes to fix it (less than 5 minutes), that's definitely worth it. Also would make the code more readable and clear for the future.
Hey, I originally made this private because it was showing Minecraft original codebase. As long as it's ok for you, you can make it public
Yes like I said, it's happening on all directions, will just be on a different side. Can be reproduced on all directions depending on the placed order.
Still an issue in 1.18 Pre-release 1.

Noticed it's also happening in 1.17.1. Tested all previous versions of Minecraft and it seems to have started between 1.12.2 and 1.13.2.

You also have a very important security leak on this Jira. Anyone can set values that they shouldn't be able to, like Mojang Priority or Category, by just enabling the HTML elements in the edit form and sending it.
Oh alright I see, thanks for the links. So yeah it wouldn't affect anything within the game, but would be good to keep in mind the library is outdated if they decide to use it for something in the future.
