 Description   

Using the text code 'r' does not reset previous formatting when viewed while being typed or in the chat window.

As Illidicia's iOS screenshots show, the color/formatting displayed while typing and while in chat are the same, but these are different than the color/formatting displayed in the message shown in the world. I confirm this happens on Android too.

When typing or when in the chat dialogue, §r resets the formatting but not the color, this is the bug. However when you exit chat and see the message in world, the color/formatting are as expected.

It did not matter whether I applied formatting or color first. I tested with §l§3boldblue §rtest and §3§lbluebold §rtest.

While typing and in chat I see:

  • boldblue test
  • bluebold test
    which are bugs because test shouldn't be blue.

In the world I see:

  • boldblue test
  • bluebold test
    as expected.

Whew formatting hurt brain.

Affects 0.14.3

This bug is still present in 0.13.0 but with a bit more nuance. I'll update the description instead of leaving details here.

On Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Android 5.0.1 MCPE 0.13.0 build 5, §r is resetting both the colors and the formatting applied by other § commands. I'm leaving the ticket open until we can confirm it is fixed for non-Android devices too.

Confirmed in 0.12.1 on iOS iPhone 5. It resets everything BUT colours.

It only doesn't reset the previous color, but bold/obfuscated/italic/underlined formatting can be reset by §r

I can confirm this on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Android 5.0 Version: 0.11.1

Confirmed for 0.11.1 on iPhone 6 plus (iOS 8.4).
