Screenshot of Krita drop down menu

Greetings,
I would like to report an issue regarding the New Text Tool

SUMMARY: The first issue is regarding to the Text Tool's drop down menu, the one to choose a font. No matter where clicked, it doesn't work. The only way to select a font is to manually type in its full name.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1.  Select Text Tool.
2.  Write anything down.
3.  Open the Text Properties docker and click to choose the font.

OBSERVED RESULT: Unable to click any of the fonts. 

EXPECTED RESULT: Clicked font is applied to the text.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10 Pro
macOS: N/A
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: N/A
KDE Plasma Version: N/A
KDE Frameworks Version: N/A
Qt Version: N/A

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I attached a screenshot, maybe it can help somehow.
If it also helps, my others specs are:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9600K CPU @ 3.70GHz   3.70 GHz
RAM	16,0 GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 (6 GB)
64-bit
Tablet: XP-Pen Artist 13.3 (NOT PRO)

Best Regards.

Thanks!

This is one I cannot reproduce. Does it also happen with Krita 5.3? Because that could help narrow it down.

I do not have Krita 5.3 so I won't be able to help, I'm sorry. I'm not sure if I can downgrade from 6.0.0beta1 to 5.3, will it require a complete reinstall?

You should be able to use the portable zip version of 5.3.0-beta1 alongside 6.0.0-beta1.

However, I can reproduce this on 6.0.0-beta1 on macOS and Linux. It works fine on 5.3.0-beta1.

There are some (repeated) warnings when scrolling the font list which might be related:
> qrc:/qt/qml/org/krita/components/FontFamilyDelegate.qml:236: TypeError: Value is null and could not be converted to an object
> qrc:/qt/qml/org/krita/components/ResourceDelegateBase.qml:39: TypeError: Cannot read property 'modelWrapper' of null
> qrc:/qt/qml/org/krita/components/ResourceDelegateBase.qml:33: TypeError: Cannot read property 'highlightedIndex' of null
> qrc:/qt/qml/org/krita/components/ResourceDelegateBase.qml:41: TypeError: Cannot read property 'palette' of null
> qrc:/FontResourceDropdown.qml:17:9: Unable to assign ResourceView_QMLTYPE_10 to ResourceView_QMLTYPE_10

It also works fine in a 6.0.0-prealpha-81586693 from October 24, so it's a relatively recent regression.
