BDS-18744Glow signs broken on Bedrock
TL;DR; After you break a glow sign, you can't type on more signs.
Long story;
I'm trying to make a 'rule' board for a building world that I'm creating, and I'm colouring specific texts to mean different things. Sometimes I make a sign and I don't like the text on it, so I replace it or break the sign to change things. Placing normal signs and removing them does nothing. However, when you break a sign that has had glow ink used on it, you can't type on signs anymore at all.
How to recreate:
- Place a sign.
- Type some text.
- Use glow ink on the sign. Optionally, dye it a different colour.
- Break the sign.
- Place another sign and try to type.
The only way I've been able to fix this issue is by completely restarting the game. Exiting the world and reopening it does not fix it without a complete restart.
An update; while writing this report, I stayed out of the game for some time. When I reopened the game, the world had reverted to an old version that I had already shut down previously when the bug happened. ???
(PS i've never posted on the bug tracker before so if theres anything i need to add please tell me)
EDIT: I might have put this report in the wrong place, I think this was supposed to be under the other bedrock report, if anyone can move it or whatever id appreciate that <3 I don't want to make a duplicate report
