MCPE-13631SIGNS- Can't type a full line of text when using colors
When using § to change the color of text, I cannot type the full 15 letters of text due to the "§" being included in the line. Instead, I can only type 13 letters. When I try to do more than one "§", such as bold white text (§l§f), I am then limited to only 11 letters, and so on. (This is a huge problem for me as every sign in my world is composed of white and other colored text).
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a new sign
2) Use the § technique to change the text color. Try doing a color then making it bold then italic. (§1§L§O)
3) Type a line of text. Instead of 15 characters, in this case you would only be able to type 9.

They are actual characters, so this is correct to happen and intented to be that way.
Please reply and update affected versions if you're still able to reproduce this issue.
Reopening ticket.
I can confirm this issue is still happening in 1.6.0, please fix.
In 1.9.0 this issue is now utterly infuriating due to automatic text wrapping. Attaching a screenshot. Notice how the "fubar" ends up on the second line in the UI, while it's on the first line in the actual sign in the background.
Looks like this page is still open. In 1.13.0, the sign formatting is still wonky on all bedrock platforms (using Android version 9 for this example). Separate lines will not return to the normal color while on the sign (this part is a separate visual glitch), and this is similar enough to the issue reported here that I am replying here instead of making a duplicate.
Affects 1.16.100
Affects 1.16.200.56 Beta
Workaround (Win 10 only) is to type out the text without any formatting and fill in the formatting from the back after.
