Changes to Top Story (News web part)

Hi there,

on our SharePoint site we have a page with News web part and layout set to "Top Story".

Last Friday I noticed a change and now the text is displayed on top of the image in a different way, not very nice or user friendly. The text is stretched to the edges and it shows all the content at once, not respecting the separation from title, headers etc.

Was this a planned change? Is there anything that can be done using this layout to display the overview content better?

Thanks

    Let's hope this doesn't happen again!

    Same issue here in Europe. I changed the news image to something with a white background as a temporary workaround.

    I have exactly the same issue. I have a support request with Microsoft underway and will report back (if I remember to!)  Pixamoo  ccallejas would be great to hear if this is still occurring for you, or if not, what resolved the issue.

    ccallejas I have the same problem, both on my work and developer tenants. It seems to have happened overnight.
