create a field in paper by typing "_____"
type [sign]
usually that signs yr characters name and signature
but in a field it just leaves the [sign] as plaintext
but it doesnt work in fields? i dont like my paperwork being off because i had to type out 25 underscores to accommodate names D:

its always bothered me that the "___" also limits the amount of characters, rather than just having like 3 underscores indicate its an input and allow you to type however much. also in relation to this bug, you could just say 'sign here'

Can you confirm that's still a thing? I thought I fixed that forever ago.

Can confirm. The number of underscore is 1:1 to how many characters it'll print from whatever you've written in the input box.

This is probably fixed now. Or the next time the server restarts.
