Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior: or &k will reset and return text back to normal upon usage of or &r Actual behavior: The entire string of text is obfuscated and only /&r with a character after it will actually reset it. You are not able to use reset and then a color code.

For example, <obf>test<reset><red>test will return obfuscated for all 8 characters, while the behavior expected is that the first four are obfuscated while the other part is just red.

The example isn't showing properly so i'll rewrite it in a codeblock

<obf>test<reset><red>test makes all eight characters obfuscated. The expected behavior is that the first 4 characters are obfuscated, while the remaining 4 are test in red text.

Where exactly are you using this? Provide /chc debug with steps to reproduce. Or is this just in chat?

[kangarko]

In chat, you need to use the end tag </obf> to end formatting explicitly now with minimessage.

This is for the prefix before the player, but it happens globally. It happens with the default chatcontrol configuration.

To reproduce it, you can just send &kobf&r&ctest or <obf>test<reset><red>test into chat. Using </obf> seems to work, but if there an equivalent for legacy formatting with &? Many plugin I am using do not support minimessage formatting.

This is unfortunately the limitation of our parser. You can see the SimpleComponent class in Foundation and make a pull request to improve if, but at this moment an end tag, or &r is required to properly clean up a formatting tag.
