BOF, a new version was just pushed to the Windows store a few hours ago. Can you update to that and let us know if the same thing is happening? Did this used to work for you or did it recently start happening?

I updated the version to 23.400.1322.0 (MS store)

The letters are back again, some text fields seem to be too small though (red arrows in the screenshots)

As far as I remember this used to work. No idea when this changed, but it was some time ago. I wanted to report it, but never got around to do so.

KDE Connect after the update to 23.400.1322.0
The red arrows are the text fields (?) that seem to be too small and cut the text.

This bug could be a duplicate of

I did not want to close any report, because I don't know if the bugtracker should have one ticket per OS or not
