Having the same text disappearing issues on our Java realm as well. The problem started happening probably a week into playing, it started with the text on signs disappearing. Then when renaming an item in an anvil the text would always turn into hashtags. I also had writing in a book and quail for a while and it stayed there until I checked it recently and only the second page of writing was gone, I flipped through the rest of the pages and they were fine but when I went back through the book again all the pages disappeared but the last one. Also another problem is that my friends can't see my chats sometimes, I haven't checked name tags yet. I play on PC, while my friends are on Xbox and PlayStation, so I don't know if that matters. This is also fairly a new world so there aren't a lot of signs down or anything like that.
