We have this issue in our realm since starting 1.18. We cannot create any nametags (it just refuses to work at all), we cannot rename any items (makes item filters impossible to create safely), all sign text vanishes (text disappears and cannot be read) and no game chat can be seen by any other players. This also affects making posts to the realm feed, they simply never appear. Not being able to communicate with the other players within the realm through any means of in game typed text makes for a very uncomfortable game experience.
Addendum: As of 1.18.12 this original bug report and the hundreds of linked bug reports is still occuring within a monthly subscription multi-player service. It is no longer intermittent, instead it is completely borked since 1.18 update and occurs all the time with all player text input interfaces! Please Dev team, this really needs looking into. I'm happy to invite any developer into my realm to test and verify. I am happy to post videos of all of the instances of the bug or screen captures, whatever is needed to to have someone simply acknowledge that they even recognise this bug as present for players who pay a monthly fee to play the game. Please read the comments and you will see many are experiencing the same level of frustration. And there will be many more who simply never bother to join the bug tracker and instead just cancel their realm services, and that is lost revenue.
In terms of workarounds, in our realm the only partial workaround for being able to enter any text in the game is using the "/me " or "/say " in game chat that sometimes allows a restricted subgroup of other players to see the typed text. All other forms of typing messages as observed above fail and reset within a second, that includes books, signs, renaming and naming via anvils, posting to notice/message board and general chat outside of using /me or /say.
I can confirm that I use Australian realm servers and I am fully affected by this bug and all the other text not working bugs in the current Bedrock realms release.
It is critically important that Microsoft/Mojang understand that this common text issue (text not working in many game elements/modes, apparently mostly in Australian realms) is replicated, tracked and updated across several different bug tracking numbers by different users who all confirm that it has been ongoing for a very long period of time. The frustration levels can be easily felt and to us users as outsiders, it does appear to be largely ignored and dismissed. The other active, open bug reports includes REALMS-9214, REALMS-9223, REALMS-9150 and the biggie REALMS-9191. Perhaps all affected users should join, follow and update all of these active reports to ensure our voices are heard.

Nope. Just tested. Still broken. Still Australia, bedrock edition, realms plus subscription.
