GridScreenDescription render discrepancy between models

While working on backwards compatibility on my channels I noticed how the description bubble renders text differently depending on the platform.

This is how it looks on 3.1 ROKU XD

This is how it looks on newer models, ROKU 2 XD (disregard display errors, just look at the description bubble)

Is there a way to have this show up more consistently or we just need to deal it?

Thanks!
