Naming items, writing in books etc anything text related

Anvil glitches out once collecting item from it, any text written doesn't convert over to the actual item, nor can you write in books, makes playing on a realm extremely frustrating, for example cant put a sign down saying 'careful lava'. This wasn't an issue a couple months ago, i was looking online for anything related and have found that its a common issue from people whom play in Australia. please look into it, thankyou for your time.
