Description:

Permission bug with nicknames.

Steps to reproduce:

Give the player following permissions:
essentials.nick, essentials.nick.color, essentials.nick.format
Since the latest version where multiple colour permissions were added this bug came:
player can't type this command when having all 3 perms ^ "/nick &6&ltest"

Expected behavior:

Player's nickname is suppose to change to bold orange test, but instead there's an error "nicknames must be alphanumeric" however this does happen if player has those 3 permissions + essentials.nick.orange

Console stack trace:

no errors.

Screenshots:

not needed.

I am unable to reproduce this issue while using the following:

Could not reproduce on latest EssentialsX

You can maybe try to give essentials.nick.changecolors.bypass and/or essentials.nick.changecolors

still dosen't work even with both of those perms.
