Starting Monday, 3/16/2026, can no longer format specific text within a cell in a Grid component in Miro - the formatting control bar will NOT display to choose formatting options when selecting/highlighting specific partial text in a given column/cell; the control bar is now only available to apply for the entire cell contents. Anyone else encounter this or suggestions/workarounds?

      Yes I just noticed this, it’s extremely upsetting to be honest 😭, creating individual textboxes for each word if you want to change color of font is very annoying. Why even make this change? Is there a way to revert to previous versions?

        HI everyone!

        Thanks for flagging this. I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue on my end — the text formatting controls in Grid cells are still working as expected, and I haven’t seen other reports of this recently.

        Could you check again and let me know:

        • Which browser or app version you’re using

        • If this happens on a specific board or in all boards

        • Whether clearing the cache or trying incognito mode changes anything

        • If possible, kindly share a short video demonstrating the issue so I can test on my end

        This will help us narrow down what might be causing the problem on your side.

        Hello, I also have this problem. I'm using Firefox Version 148.0.2 (64-bit). Clearing the cache and using incognito mode didn't change anything.

          I’ve been having the same problem for a couple of weeks. Clearing the cache, restarting the browser, and restarting the computer does not help. I’m using Chrome Version 146.0.7680.80 (Official Build) (64-bit)

            Same - clearing caches, restarting browser/computer, incognito window does not fix it. The issue occurs in both chrome and edge and desktop version. 

            NOTE: I have just found a work around…if you create a new frame and copy/paste the grid into that new frame, then the format control bar is visible again for the selected partial text in a given cell in the grid. Also, found that if you add a new grid to the existing frame where older grid had the issue, the new grid does not have the formatting control for partial text in a grid cell.

              Hi everyone,

              Thanks for all the details and for sharing your testing results! Super helpful! It does look like this may be a broader issue, especially since it’s happening across different browsers and even the desktop app.

               

              Also, thanks ​@June Felch for sharing that workaround — copying the grid into a new frame is a great temporary fix.

              I’ve gone ahead and converted this into a support ticket so the team can investigate further on the backend. If possible, please share a short screen recording in the thread as well, as it can help speed up the investigation.

              We’ll keep you posted once we have updates.
