I don’t know if this is a bug or purposeful but if my container has an ‘image’ background with a card, the description does NOT show up on the card label: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/7/c7a24aff053e68c6ac33e412f26a090944757d15.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/8/5833464091edd10a2870b0e875b6b685f875d3fe.jpeg) If I switch to a different container effect it works: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/5/15f02ed22ecb0d15756e1d614fda7c7e7cd2f20c.jpeg) It even works on a grid view even though you can’t read text with a background image while it’s not in a card ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/a/ca95d8da3be033927ba95a55b0879ec516deb112.jpeg) Any know if there’s a reason for this? ---

What if you highlight it, whether the object is there or not? ---

If you try several alternative settings in settings-appearance, you will find various strange appearances happening again. Not appearing doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. In your case, it’s a text color issue. If you try different setting adjustments, the background color of the card becomes transparent instead. In my opinion, this is a bug. ![Screenshot 2024-04-18 at 10.10.27](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/1/31f681f83aae26abf7c1c6b3accaa1d98a0c550f.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2024-04-18 at 10.17.00](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/1/914267009c8f8a7483331518218fcc5059ca84db.jpeg) @NoCodeAndy, can you help with this case? ---

ohhh you meant highlight in settings, i thought you meant highlight in the container options! you’re right though, neutral card setting: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/3/434f29ca160f5168080c5aeed1a72bc41d96c534.jpeg) highlight card setting: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/2/12095389d4e054efb2b3a40a2f979ca11fd76d3e.jpeg) There should def not be a white text setting with a card option that has a white background! ---

I was just asking to confirm that the way you highlight the text where you put a question mark indicates that the object is present but just not visible due to a color issue. After trying again, I found even more anomalies, caused by differences in the appearance settings. This is a bug. ---
