Please help! ALL Modern pages impacted | SharePoint spacing issue
Has anyone received an update that they think actually fixes the issue - properly- though?
We have been told that the fix is now with us, but our bulleted and numbered lists remain broken -
- there is (usually) no padding at the start of them
- we are seeing big inconsistency whatever fix has deemed to have been applied
This applies to existing and new pages.
We have shared many examples of it still being wrong and here's one of the best (worst) examples:
No 'space' is being added/deleted here - this is the spacing we have around bullets as entered correctly in the text webpart... which MS are actually telling us is their 'design choice'.
I had a fairly crushing call with them yesterday where we told that it was a design choice the SPO team have taken, the result of which is something like:
"...as bullet points are part of the paragraph of text they are in, there should be no spacing after the preceeding line of text....but there is space at the end of the list"
This style choice is both wrong and indeed out of sync with not only every other MS application but also every other website on the internet we can find
Our MS support guys (who have been great by the way and done all they can for us within constraints of the MS customer support model) seem to agree with the evidence we present them but can do nothing as its the design teams choice. They have actually advised us to start hacking at it to add extra line breaks etc where we show them its wrong.
We have to raise another ticket to continue get this issue investigated - both from the point of view of it being wrong, but also that even if we agreed the style choice was right, the behavior in our tenant is inconsistent.
So essentially ... 6 months and counting after raising an issue which we thought would be a 'known issue', going through the 'design change request process' for what is essentially a line or 2 of broken CSS code....we still have no resolve.
Interested to hear other other thoughts on this and if you could share screenshots of your bullets on a SharePoint page shown well and consistently that would be great.
- Rie0205Oct 15, 2021Brass ContributorWe haven't seen any changes on our intranet yet. Hoping to see the updates any day now...
- cc-dfeOct 19, 2021Brass ContributorWe've been informed the change that had been released has now been rolled back due to pre-October 13th to issues. I think this confirms what I thought I noticed, those being:
- a change to space around headings
- no change to bullets
We are now back to odd spacing around headings and the same issues around bullets.
I guess there is a chance that the fixes that were applied and then rolled back at some point did fix bullets, but the fix wasn't around long enough to be noticed.
However, our last conversation with MS as noted above seems to confirm that the spacing issues we see are a 'design' choice.- James MountfordOct 19, 2021Iron ContributorI'm frustrated beyond belief, particularly as my support ticket was closed (so wouldn't expect any notification of a rollback) and both the related roadmap and message centre items state it should have rolled out by now. I've gone back to my support ticket contact asking for an update.
