Bug Description

Passing formatted item names in functions makes it so the passed text can't be checked correctly anymore.

In the following code, with an item named "&bTest", only "yes 1" will run. "yes 2" won't:

command /test:
trigger:
send player's held item
if player's held item's name = "&bTest":
send "&ayes 1"

	test(player's held item's name)

function test(name: text):
broadcast {_name}

if {_name} = "&bTest":
	broadcast "&ayes 2"

When removing "&b" in the code and in-game item's name, it works correctly.

Expected Behavior

The item name should also be able to be found correctly inside the function since they both match.

Steps to Reproduce

Pass a formatted item name in a function and check the name outside and inside the function.

The following code can be used:

command /test:
trigger:
send player's held item
if player's held item's name = "&bTest":
send "&ayes 1"

	test(player's held item's name)

function test(name: text):
broadcast {_name}

if {_name} = "&bTest":
	broadcast "&ayes 2"

This seems to be an issue with formatting, I managed to reproduce this using

command test:
    trigger:
        set {_s} to paper named "&bTest"
        if {_s}'s name = "&bTest":
            broadcast "&ayes 1"
        test({_s}'s name)

function test(s: string):
    if {_s} = "&bTest":
        broadcast "&ayes 2"

although when changing the argument from a string to a text component it does work. Same thing happens if we compare the formatted string with the desired name in the function.
