Bug sign-> ps4?

Counting every input given while typing in a sign but for some reason text keeps disappearing as i accept the changes. Sign says there are 18 characters available but when i type and accept 16 it deletes the added text.

Either i am missing something some where but I should have 7 characters left but when i add 1 more the change is undone when I accept.

Im thinking its a bug with the color text PS4 might be adding them is just my guess. You try it without color to see if its same?

Yea I’m not sure if the UI counts the color text but I do know it’s been said that the colors count against the character limit

:#red:plop 118 left
Plop 124 left

Counting correctly.

Now I really don’t get it… just filled plop in completely.
Looks like color used adds characters afther cant fill the color one past 5characters left.

Still already costs characters to color why does it cost extra then?
