    I figured if you keep pressing the enter, the text size will shrink, you can adjust the size of the note and press enter to adjust the text size accordingly, though you can't change the text to different size within one note, indeed frustrating.

    This might help someone. When I made a text box, my text wrapped on to the next line. If you drag the corner box to resize, the whole box and text resizes together, and the long word wraps on to the next line still.

    However! After far too long, I discovered that you can resize the box independently of the text by dragging the sides to increase width and height individually. So now, you can resize the text using the corners, then resize the box, keeping the same sized text by dragging the sides!

    Same issue and it is super frustrating and reason enough to decide against MS Whiteboard and using a competitor's product, to be honest. It is not enough to be able to stretch the text box, but the notes' fonds need to be big enough, otherwise the whole thing makes no sense. I am not going to zoom in that much in order to see a tiny text on a big note and not be able to see the whole chart because of it.

    pressing shift and up arrow key makes the shap bigger but the text still remains the same size. only solution is to do a text box and drop a shap on top of it like ppt logic... shame as in Miro it resizes

    Product-breaking bug. How has this gone into production with shapes with unreadable labels?
