"Choice" fields are wrapping text/breaking words
I have a form that uses several choice fields in the questions. Recently the form has started "wrapping" the text or breaking it so it looks extremely odd. While functionally it works, it's incredibly difficult to read. For example if the options for a question are "yes" or "no" when you look at the form now, it breaks the "Yes" into Ye on one line and s on a lower line, as if it's wrapped the text around the radio button. Likewise "No" breaks into N on one line, o below it. Help would be greatly appreciated!

DingkunXie I am having issues with word spacing when writing descriptions - is there a way to make the gaps in the second and third bullet points go away?

I have been able to reproduce the issue. It seems to be a UX layout bug, and unfortunately, there is no known workaround to resolve it. Therefore, I will create a bug to the Product team for a fix.
this seems to be fixed! thank you 🙂 DingkunXie
- Still a problem in June 2023...
(think there's any chance of a resolution??)- Same here...looks fine in the edit but leaves letters and partial words dangling all over the place. Tried everything I could think of to fix it. May have to find an alternative as it looks unprofessional.

Thank you for your feedback on this frustrating issue. I know that issues like this are something we don't like to see, so could you please share some details whenever you see a short string being wrapped, such as 'Yes' being wrapped in two lines as an option in a Choice question? I would like to bring this information to the product team so that we can prioritize improvements.
I would appreciate it if you could provide the following details:
1. Device - Desktop/Mobile
2. OS - Windows XX/iOS/MacOS/Android/others
3. Browsers - Edge/Chrome/Mozilla/Safari/others
4. Platform - Web page/Assignments in Teams/others
5. Form type - Form/Quiz/Poll/others
6. If possible, please share the details of which string is being wrapped that should not be
craecker I am having the exact same issue and it differs from a computer view to a mobile view.
I have had a look at some options and there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust this nor any setting within forms to drill down on.
Next is to try messing with size of text but then I fear it's just going to run into same issue. Pretty poor oversight from MS if the case is no fix for this.
- I'm guessing the bug is triggered when editing a question, from some random small change in the formatting you may make during that edit. I was able to correct it on mine after many, MANY iterations of altering the formatting (per question). Duplicating the whole question to make a new question didn't help. The bug copied right over. But as I played with changing any and all things possible to change in the formatting, eventually the question's text wrapping normalized. Bit of a nightmare... since it always looked normal in edit mode -- but would warp once put into preview mode.
- I'm having the exact same problem 😞
