Link text styling/formatting no longer working for some links after June 2025 ArcGIS Online update

NicoleJohnson

Edit: Hadn't realized how broken so many things are. Just gonna wait and hope this gets resolved.

For accessibility reasons, links in my experience are bold, underlined, and presented in my theme primary color (teal) so they stand out a bit from regular text (dark gray).

After the update, some of the links can either be bold and dark gray, or they can be teal but not bold. If I make them bold, they revert to dark gray. If I un-bold them, then I see them in teal again. The builder shows the text color as teal no matter what.

I'm not seeing any patterns in which links retain the right styling and which don't (e.g., type of layout widget the text is inside of). I've checked Edge and Chrome.

Hi @NicoleJohnson, sorry to hear that. Do you have a sample URL that we could look into? Is it text widget the main area, or there are some other widgets evolved with the link configured?

@TonghuiMing, unfortunately, I can't share anything publicly. If this problem still exists tomorrow, I can share to a group and @ you again. Thank you!

@TonghuiMing, the problem is still happening. What username can I share the group with?

Hi @NicoleJohnson, you can share it with tonghui, ke13810, and mingyanghan. My colleague and I will help take a look. Let me know if you couldn't find these. Thank you.

@TonghuiMing, I've invited the three of you to a group called "MDHHS - Esri Troubleshooting," which has one app. You can see the hyperlink issue on the "about" page directly after the splash screen. No other pages seem to be affected.

The example in the above app is super minor and I could just re-do the text, but I have another app (that I'm not sure I can share even privately) where this is also happening, and to a greater extent, to the point where redoing all the affected text would be a huge amount of time.
