Question

Terrible word breaks


Forum|alt.badge.img

Using a text object or even shapes or stickies, I’m suddenly faced with terrible word breaks or line breaks on a line, not even hyphenation that makes sense.

I’m getting something like the word approved being broken at random places like a <br> pproved or ap<br>proved in these text boxes.

Scaling the bounds of the box doesn’t help it just changes other words breaking at unusual places.

One workaround sometimes works by copying text out, pasting into a google draft somewhere, clearing formatting, and pasting back into Miro. But that doesnt always fix it and sometimes it just comes back when scaling the bounding box again.

Super frustrated by this. Any solution / help?

Was it helpful?

This looks like it has been a glitch for the past few days and is making it very frustrating working in text boxes! Would love an update!

I’m having the same issue when pasting in text from an outside source. Very frustrating!


Apparently this has happened before in Miro (few years ago) and now it it happening again. Really hope this is a development team priority at the moment. We use a lot of sticky notes and this makes Miro almost unusable, especially for client-facing activity.

same here. Looks embarassing, especially when you use Miro in presentation mode with customers.

 

Pretty much renders presentation mode useless unless you fix all of your text manually with line breaks.

 

Come on Miro, this is trivial
