The bug reappears on 5.27.9, especially when you resize system monitor window, you can clearly see that "OK" and "Cancel" text starts to distort at certain sizes. See attached video for more info.

I can no longer reproduce this with Plasma 6. The dialogs were ported to upstream components which likely handle this better.
