Steps initially show only first line of text

Currently and for the past year+ on Microsoft To Do Web, after selecting any List, the initial view of the Steps within a Task, only shows the first line of text in each Step. If I select a different Task within the same List and then reselect the original Task, the Steps within display all of the lines of wrapped text.

This occurs using both MS Edge and Google Chrome. I rebuild my computer from a new Windows 11 ISO after stripping my SSD to zero partitions last week and this is still a problem.

It would be really great if we could get this fixed.

    I just stumble onto something having this same problem.  I have a group with a list in it with a task that is repeated weekly and that has 19 steps.   Some of my steps are long and i couldn't see all the texts.  I was able to checkoff all the steps as being completed.  I then clicked on this task and it showed me the next occurrence and the completed occurrence.   When I opened the completed task, all the lines of the steps were there (crossed out since they were all completed).  I then clicked on the next occurrence of the task and all the steps lines were visible.  Seems like it has the abiltiy to show all lines of the text but the default won't get you there but you can set it, at least for this instance, by opening a previous version of it.  Please others experiment and share here what you find.

    Can only see 1st line of a step.  Very frustrating!

    I have the same issue, but I see nobody has yet replied to Scott. Any suggestions what to do?

      Thanks for the bump, Hans. Maybe if we keep replying occasionally, we'll get a response.
