Bug Description

Updating Skript from version 2.14.2 to 2.15.2 introduces a bug where passing formatted text (all legacy color codes?) between "" to a function is not being received correctly.

The example code below will not format the text correctly inside the function (no &l, bold):

command /test:
	trigger:
		open chest inventory with 1 row named "test" to player
		set slot 0 of player's current inventory to diamond named "&a&lTest"


on inventory click:
	event-inventory's name = "test"

	cancel event
	send event-item's name
	test(player, "%event-item's name% 1")


function test(p: player, test: text):
	send {_test} to {_p}

Expected Behavior

The formatted text should show correctly, in bold.

Steps to Reproduce

Use the example code I sent above.
