Comment formatting in MS List/SharePoint List

Hi,

I have an MS List and the formatting in the Comments section in the form view has gone all wonky and it's being compressed and is only allowing a few words per line. Any ideas? Nothing changed on my end....

    Could you please try using this same formatting in another list? If you are not facing the issue there, then please try the following steps:

    1. Change the Comments column temporarily to Plain text
    2. Save
    3. Change it back to Rich text

    This forces SharePoint to rebuild the field rendering.

    However, could you please share the JSON formatting you have used? I can test it in my tenant and let you know how it behaves for me.

      This is the built in comments section in the form view, it's not a column - how do i change the formatting on that? Im not aware I can? It sems to be happening across all my MS Lists

        Microsoft is rolling out UI changes across Teams and SharePoint, and during these rollouts you may see weird, inconsistent, or half‑baked UI behavior. It seems like a UI glitch related to Microsoft’s ongoing SharePoint design rollout, and we expect it will be corrected once the update fully propagates.

        For safekeeping, could you please raise a support ticket with Microsoft from your tenant as well? This will help ensure the issue is properly tracked and investigated on their side.
