For the past two days, I’ve been having an issue with my Miro board that makes my work difficult. I can’t make any edits to the board — I can neither write nor add anything. When I try to type something, it somehow changes the board’s name to whatever I’m typing.

I’m asking for help from anyone who has faced this problem. I’d be grateful for any information.

Hi ​@Liza Borisova, thanks for reaching out!

This can happen if:

  • The board is in view-only mode and you don’t have edit rights.

  • There’s a browser or app glitch where focus is stuck on the title field.

  • A stuck keyboard/mouse input or touchscreen tap is triggering title edit mode.

  • The board is locked due to permissions or settings.

Could you check and confirm:

  • Are you the board owner or do you have full edit permissions?

  • Does the same thing happen in a different browser or in the Miro mobile/desktop app?

  • Is the behavior the same on other boards, or only this one?

  • If you click anywhere on the canvas before typing, does it still change the title?

If possible, please share a short screen recording so I can see the exact behavior and try to reproduce it.


Thank you very much for your reply!

Yes, I am the owner of the board and have permission to edit it. This issue is not just with one board, but with all of them. If I click anywhere on the canvas before typing, it still changes the title.

I followed your advice and tried opening Miro in Google chrome, and everything works there. I hope it will start working in Safari (on Mac) over time. Thanks again!


Hi there,

i’m experiencing the same issue which doesn’t happen when I open the board in a private window - without a sign-in

but with my sign-in, the problem occurs again. 
Help! 

Thanks

I’m so relieved I’ve found this exchange! I’ve been having the same issue—when I try to add or edit any text on ANY of the boards, it changes the board title. It’s been happening for over a week. I tried Miro app (I’m on iPad) as well as Safari and Chrome. I also tried private mode. Nothing helps. What’s more, my collaborator (who’s using Mac) has been having the same issue on the board we share. It’s important to note that I do have full editing rights and most boards I’ve even created myself. Screen recording
