 - Converted `EuiFormRow` to Typescript ([#2712](https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/2712))
 - Updated `logoAPM`, `logoSecurity` and `logoEnterpriseSearch`. Added `logoWorkplaceSearch` and `logoObservability` ([#2769](https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/2769))
 
+**Bug fixes**
+
+- Increased column width on `EuiTableHeaderCellCheckbox` to prevent `EuiCheckbox`'s focus ring from getting clipped in `EuiBasicTable` ([#2770](https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/2770))
+
 **Deprecations**
 
 - `EuiIcon`'s `logoEnterpriseSearch` type deprecated in favor of `logoWorkplaceSearch`
