News Web Part rendering issues
Is anyone noticing major rendering issues with the SharePoint Online News web part? The issues are similar to this post... https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/changes-to-top-story-new...
See below for the full response from Microsoft. Sounds like a 'code issue', which they have 'manually' updated. Sounds like a slightly 'hacky' approach, rather than rolling back, but good to see it fixed....for now.

Our SharePoint intranet is now experiencing this issue again. Is no one else?
- Everything OK in our tenant
- We are experiencing one of two events. Either the old issue of the picture overlapping the text OR the new issue of the picture not loading at all. In both cases, reloading the page puts things right.
I guess it is time for me to open a ticket with MS.
- So far we are ok.
