            <title>[MCPE-8750] Unable to enter new text upon removing formatting (Username bug)</title>
                <link>https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-8750</link>
                <project id="10200" key="MCPE">Minecraft (Bedrock codebase)</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;After changing my username to &#167;bScience_Expert in settings, I deleted it completely, not liking the look. (Note: It deleted 3 letters with each press of delete. Another bug?) After deleting the text completely, I attempted retyping the username, but no letters appeared in the field. The keyboard acts as though it&apos;s typing, and going into a custom keyboard show that letters actually are being imputed (Via the suggested words bar). However when attempting to chat in game, chat does not work. The player has no username, and attempting to send a message only results in broadcasting &quot;&amp;lt;&quot;. Restarting the app and the phone had no effect. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bellow are photos of attempting to type in a username and the custom keyboard that had suggested words (By typing &quot;example&quot; or any text, it appears that four phantom A&apos;s are in the text box. However, no amount of deleting removes them.).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Update 0.12.0 officially came out on all platforms and once you update Minecraft PE, you realized that in the username slot it will be written Steve! Just write your username again! Thanks Shoghi and the MojangTeam!!!!&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

Look what Tommasso Checchi said on Twitter: &lt;a href=&quot;https://mobile.twitter.com/_tomcc/status/636042315765817344&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://mobile.twitter.com/_tomcc/status/636042315765817344&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

There&apos;s a small chance that it comes out in August but I am 99% sure it comes out in September. But why can&apos;t they fix it earlier? I asked Tomasso Checchi on Twitter if he is gonna fix it sooner but he didn&apos;t answer back.. &lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="245158" author="sammygarza111" created="Mon, 24 Aug 2015 18:00:58 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;well sorry to tell you but the update may come in September but it will be like the first week. This is one of the worst bugs I seen that basically doesn&apos;t let you play the game &lt;img class=&quot;emoticon&quot; src=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/images/icons/emoticons/sad.png&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

I am mad about this for like a month and there is still like a week left before the update comes in August. If it&apos;s delayed to September..&#128545;&#128545; Cause come on.. This bug doesn&apos;t let you join local multiplayer worlds and servers. You are kinda lonely with a chat that is blank a blank username and your worlds. &lt;/p&gt;</comment>

I don&apos;t care if I am slow to the info. What I care about is the bug.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="237686" author="sammygarza111" created="Fri, 31 Jul 2015 02:22:17 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Um no mojang states 1 WEEK ago that it was delayed!!!! How slow are you to be the info?&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="237373" author="blindicon_gaming" created="Thu, 30 Jul 2015 20:14:31 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;I am so mad, the 0.12.0 update was supposed to be yesterday with bug fixes for this bug and guess what, it&apos;s be delayed. Now, my favourite server has come back online and I am not able to join. Please fix this soon. I am getting REALLY annoyed about this bug and I have enough. I want to see my friends again in the servers. I can also confirm this bug on an iPad 4 with Retina Display.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

It is blank, no colored lines you can see to mark where the digit typed will be placed.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="234813" author="blindicon_gaming" created="Tue, 21 Jul 2015 17:57:37 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;This is one of the worst bugs ever. It doesn&apos;t let us in servers: &quot;Invalid username&quot; and you can&apos;t write something in the chat ( it shows just &amp;lt;). Only thing you can do is go in your worlds. This bug should be fixed very soon. Since I have this bug, I almost don&apos;t play Minecraft at all.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

Please fix this bug soon! I want to be able to go back in servers.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="231418" author="illidicia" created="Wed, 17 Jun 2015 20:54:23 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;It is worth noting that this issue is not specific to colored text, or the username bar. Any formatting (colored, italic/bold) can be cause this issue, anywhere in the app users have the ability to enter such.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="231415" author="rplatham" created="Wed, 17 Jun 2015 20:18:05 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Adding Illidicia&apos;s comment (suggesting uninstall/reinstall isn&apos;t necessary for &quot;newer, up-to-date&quot; iOS devices).  She&apos;s much better on iOS since I&apos;m purely on Android so far.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Per &lt;span class=&quot;error&quot;&gt;&amp;#91;MCPE Mod&amp;#93;&lt;/span&gt; Ilidicia: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Minecraft Pocket Edition supports file sharing on iOS, which grants the user a temporary fix for this issue. If you do not know how to do this, see &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201301&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; by Apple.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="231397" author="rplatham" created="Wed, 17 Jun 2015 19:22:33 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Shoghi, I&apos;m reopening and assigning this ticket because users are unable to edit their player names after using colored names.  The current temporary solution is to fix/replace options.txt and if you don&apos;t have access to that (iOS for example) to uninstall and reinstall the game.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For extra clarity This is different from the bug where colors in names gets you kicked out of servers.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="231396" author="rplatham" created="Wed, 17 Jun 2015 19:20:28 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m reopening and assigning this issue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The problem is not&lt;/b&gt; that players are being disconnected from servers because colors in names are invalid characters (see &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-8736&quot; title=&quot;Multiplayer World Connection Among iOS Devices&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MCPE-8736&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MCPE-8736&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for that one).  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The problem for this ticket and all related to it is&lt;/b&gt; players cannot edit their names in the options after they have tried removing colors from those names.   Accordingly, this bug prevents users from changing their names &lt;em&gt;ever&lt;/em&gt;.  The current temporary solution is to replace options.txt with a clean version (e.g. change the name manually in there, get one from a friend, etc.) or to uninstall and reinstall the game (this does not delete your worlds).  I suspect iOS devices will have to go the uninstall/reinstall route.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="231030" author="avmontel" created="Sun, 14 Jun 2015 06:40:54 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;I get that this isn&apos;t a bug and works as intended, but how do you fix it if you have already done it?  If there is no cursor and no text, how can you change your name to something that works?&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

Only a-z A-Z 0-9 and _ are allowed&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</comment>
