Excerpts have vertical text in edit mode

[Marko Danevcic]

When I want to edit a page all excerpts have vertical text (second picture). In preview mode excerpt text are OK (first picture). All excerpts are located in another space. How can I fix this?

Hi @Marko Danevcic and welcome to Community!

It's a known bug that you can track here: "Include Excerpt" Macro Misalignment in Confluence Cloud Layouts. I recommend upvoting to show you're impacted and watching it to get updates on the resolution.

Atlassian suggests the following workaround:

Avoid using the "Remove title and frame" option in the "Include Excerpt" macro when tables are present, or manually adjust the layout to accommodate the table's display. Alternatively, consider restructuring the page to avoid using a multi-column layout for pages with large tables.

Hope this helps!

Hi Manon!

Thanks for the answer. If I avoid using the "Remove title and frame" option, it works OK. Problem is that I have a lot of excerpts inside one page, so it will take some time to fix it. I will have to do much more pages, so this isn't really a good fix for me especially because I did many pages until today and there wasn't any problem like this until now.

I'm also not using any tables in the excerpts where this problem occur.

Is there any other way to fix it? I can share you a link to the page if you want.

Thanks.

Just to clarify, I don't work for Atlassian, I'm just a community user like yourself trying to help out :)

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any other workarounds for this issue. Since this is impacting multiple pages, I'd suggest contacting Atlassian support directly for more help. Hopefully they can provide more targeted help for your situation!
