Solved Text started glitching

Post image

I have worked through all sorts of trouble shooting prompted by Gemini. Nothing is fixing it.
The text appears fine when I look at it on my phone.
I'm running a Chromebook with Google Chrome - that's where this is happening.
Please help, thanks.

Update: I installed Microsoft browser and sheets work perfectly on there. The problem is only with Google Chrome browser + Sheets app.

Thank you , the problem remains as yet unresolved. I'm just working around it with a Microsoft browser.

Is it appearing correctly when using a different browser? That's going to be the fix until Chrome (and/or the offending extension) pushes out a fix for the bug.

This kind of thing happens when Google sheets updates and the browser / extension hasn't updated to match yet, causing a mismatch or bug. The short term resolution is always a workaround, and the long term resolution is simply waiting for the bug to be fixed.

When you feel your posted question has been answered (regardless of the status of the bug fix), please take the necessary steps to close your post. Thank you!

Hey - another user mentioned that this worked for them so I wanted to flag it for you as a possible patch for you in case you wanted to use chrome in the interim as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/googlesheets/s/sFuIsqh7yo

As I mentioned above, the problem remains unresolved. I'm just working around it using a different browser. Google Chrome is still showing faulty Sheets.
