Gray colour on text box

[Tlotly]

Hi All

Quick question, how do I get rid of this gray colour on the top part of the text box? I'm creating a mobile view on a report that was created a while back. When I drag the textbox over to mobile view it becomes unnecessarily too big. I tried reducing it on desktop view to no avail. The top gray part makes just makes it too big on mobile view.

I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with the version of the desktop because textboxes on the other reports don't have this.

Hi @Tlotly ,

I also agree with the suggestion to update to the latest version. Because each update will introduce many new features and fix some problems in the old version, which will facilitate our subsequent development.

Also in my old version test, the text box did not show the Gray color part, refer to my settings. Or refer to a similar solution.

If the problem is still not resolved, please point it out. Looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
Henry

@Anonymous yes that's what I've noticed too, thank you. I thought maybe there's a workaround that other than updating the version.

Hi @Tlotly .

Yes, you are right.
The latest Power BI version doesn't have that kind of a display of a text box.
Maybe you can update the Desktop version and try it.

I have installed Version: 2.142.1277.0 64-bit (April 2025) of Desktop and that grey thingy has re-appeared on the text box.

By the comments above - do I hope that in the next release it will go away??

@Anonymous I did realise it's related to the desktop version. The report was created using Jan2021 version. Anyway I had to use the text box as is on the mobile version even though it looks bigger. Thanks for all the help and suggestions!
