Zoom whiteboard - Issue with Rotated Text in Zoom Whiteboard Shapes After Recent Update

I am facing an issue with the Zoom Whiteboard where the text inside flowchart shapes got automatically rotated by 90 degrees. This behavior started occurring recently, likely after a Zoom update, even though no manual changes were made to the orientation.

Issue Details:

  • Text within shapes appears vertically (rotated 90°) instead of horizontal
  • The shape itself remains normal; only the text is affected
  • Unable to reset the text orientation using standard formatting options
  • Issue persists across sessions and boards

Impact: This is affecting usability during meetings, as the content becomes difficult to read and requires additional effort to recreate shapes or re-enter text.
