Re: Missing text in app description boxes
And now they've fixed it! It's working properly now, at least for me, after I did a manual update today.

Thanks for the heads up. It's now properly displaying on my three Roku units as well.

Re: Missing Text and/or boxes in place of text
Piece of **bleep**. Doing it on all our Roku devices. We restart and works for a little bit, then does it all over again. Happens on Home Screen and every channel we have.

Re: Missing Text and/or boxes in place of text
I don't know if this permanently fixed the issue or not, but I removed /hid "The Morning Show" in the Home Screen and all my text began to display as normal.
I've been running through all my screens ~ turned the box on and off and have not lost ANY text on ANY screen that I can find. This is only after a number of minutes, but I'm not complaining.
I'll post if the missing text condition returns.

Re: Missing characters in text boxes
Same issue with Roku soundbar. No issues with other Roku devices in the house.
