MCPE-8763Formatted Text Deletion Bug for iOS
When deleting formatted characters, 3 characters are deleted at a time rather than one. So, for example, if one was to type "dog" in blue and backspace once, then one would lose all three letters, whereas one should only lose "g."
I am assuming the game is trying to delete the section symbol, number/letter used to determine effect, and the visible letter, whereas it should only try to do this when at the beginning of the colored text.
This appears to only affect iOS devices

Colored Text Deletion Bug
When deleting colored, bolded, or italicized characters, 2-5 characters are deleted at a time rather than one. So, for example, if I wrote "dog" in blue and backspaced one time, then I would lose anywhere from two letters to all, whereas I should only lose "g."

Formatted Text Deletion Bug for iOS
relates to
Also confirmed for 0.11.1.
Confirmed on iPad Mini running 0.11.1
Actually, after some more testing, I found that it deletes three characters. Fixed.
Could this be an iOS specific bug? I cannot reproduce it on a Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 5.0.1 running MCPE 0.11.1: Typing §Ldog<backspace> left me with do as expected.
Probably. I was able to confirm on iPhone 5, iPad mini, iPad 2, and iPad 3.
I think I figured this out.
The game assumes that you are at the beginning of the colored chat, therefore tries to delete 3 characters (§, #, and letter). A rather easy fix.
Wait, it is confirmed on 0.11.1, why it isn't in the affected versions? And please fix this on 0.11.2, because I am annoyed of this bug. (You got me first than I will post this bug)
0.11.1 is not put in the affected versions list as it was not available to choose. The only option was 0.11.
Confirmed on iPhone 5s MCPE 0.11.1 as well, I am having the same issue.
Confirmed for 0.11.1 on iPhone 6 plus (iOS 8.3).
Thank God, this got assigned.
Still present as of 0.12.1
Confirmed in 0.12.1
I could not reproduce this in 0.12.2. I created and placed a sign, typed §ldog to see dog. I hit back space I still had do as expected. I played around with it in different ways but couldn't get more than 1 character to be deleted at a time. I could even typed §l <backspace> 4 and change from bold to red. I've asked some testers to try and reproduce it before I resolved this as fixed in 0.12.2.
No, this is still present as of 0.12.2 (iPad mini, iOS 9.1 beta 5).
Were you on an Android device when you tested this? It appears to only affect iOS devices.
Also confirmed the issue for 0.12.2 on iPhone 6 Plus (iOS 9.0.2), using the setup described by Russell above.
Confirmed for MCPE 0.13.0 on iPad Mini (iOS 9.1). Tested with chat and signs.
Also confirmed for 0.13.1.
Fixed in the latest release.
It's back, this time it is on PlayStation 4. I was trying to type colored and bold text on a sign using the section symbol.
