Hi marissa_sinai ,

 

Works ok for me in Latest Chrome and Edge. If you have a latest version of the browser and you are still getting it then the only thing to do is raise a ticket in the Office 365 Admin portal. Not sure how much importance they would put on a cosmetic issue but you never know. 

 

Hope that helps.

 

Andy

    Thank you for the response! I have an update below, as well:

     

     

     

    So, it seems that when ‘Show descriptions’ is set to ‘yes’, the following happens:

     

    When the ‘outline’ appearance is used: the button height auto-resizes so that there isn’t extra (height) space for the individual Quick Link button’s non-existent description (see screenshots, below)

      • If just one Quick Link has a description, just that one button will increase in size to fit the description, the other buttons that don’t have descriptions remain the more compact height (preferable)

      • None of the Quick Links in the web part have descriptions, however, ‘Show descriptions’ is selected in case a description is need at some point. The Quick Link buttons do not increase in height, because they don’t have descriptions (preferable)

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    When the ‘fill color’ appearance is used: the button heights don’t resize even if there’s no present Q.L. description for the individual Quick Link, or for any of the Quick Links in the webpart:

    • If just one Quick Link has a description, ALL buttons increase in size to fit a description, even though none are present (NOT preferable)

    • None of the Quick Links in the web part have descriptions, however, ‘Show descriptions’ is selected in case a description is need at some point. The Quick Link buttons all increased in height, even though they don’t have descriptions (NOT preferable)
