I often get a big tab through invisible placeholders

[supermem99]

Server version
1.18.1 Paper

Plugin version ("latest" is not a version)
3.0.1

Describe the bug
Sometimes when I join my Server, the placeholder refreshes and I get a long tab...

How to reproduce

1. Have more placeholder in your tab like in my example:
   tabprefix: '%premiumvanish_isvanished%&8[%animation:owner_prefix%&8] {#ca191e}%reloadedutils_blinken%'
2. Join to your server
3. get this tab
   

Expected behavior
it simply should be a smaller tab.

Actual behavior
Have a big tab

Additional info (errors, screenshots, ...)

[NEZNAMY]

I set tabprefix to the value you provided and set placeholder output replacements to return empty value for identifier to pretend the placeholders returned empty value, which seems to be your case.

placeholder-output-replacements:
  "%premiumvanish_isvanished%":
    "%premiumvanish_isvanished%": ""
  "%reloadedutils_blinken%":
    "%reloadedutils_blinken%": ""

This is what I got:

I am, therefore, not able to reproduce this issue with provided steps.

[NEZNAMY]

Try with 3.0.2

Any news @supermem99 ?

No its not better. The empty spaces are not there but the placeholders will be shown. Very buggy to me. But maybe its only to my users.yml. Because to players its isnt buggy

[NEZNAMY]

I have no idea why and can't fix it without steps to reproduce that actually work.

[supermem99]

Can i send you my files?

[NEZNAMY]

I will not be able to test them because I don't have the plugins you are using placeholders from.

[supermem99]

Ok. Actually its now permanent like the picture.
But only to users from users.yml

[NEZNAMY]

[supermem99]

Ok but its not the placeholder which have the issue. Its something i have to test maybe with other Placeholder

Placeholder from Plugin is our systempl

Wait i will test it today

[NEZNAMY]

Give me one that I can try myself without having to buy any plugins.

thats the cause i think

[NEZNAMY]

Will be fixed in the next version. For now manually lowercase all outputs in placeholder sorting type in config.

Original issue will likely be fixed in the next update where the feature is reworked.

I did it, but its almost still there.
