Created attachment 126866 [details] Letters individually moving when resizing the title, instead of moving the whole string smoothly. SUMMARY When resizing an aurorae window, the letters of the title change position, sometimes making the font kerning extremely bad. Video showing an example is attached. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Choose an aurorae theme (Qogir-dark-circle, in this case) 2. Resize the window horizontally 3. Look closely at the window title OBSERVED RESULT Letters of the title move around, making font kerning appear extremely bad. EXPECTED RESULT Letters stay still, title moves smoothly with the window (Breeze does it properly, for example) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux 5.5.8-21-tkg-MuQSS KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Sorry. Didn't see the bug upstream. I have a question though, why is Breeze not affected by this issue? Is it not possible to mitigate it using the examples on the Kerning.qml file on the bug upstream? It's really a quite annoying bug and it makes Aurorae basically unusable for a lot of people.
Breeze doesn't use QtQuick, but only QPainter.
(In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #3) > Breeze doesn't use QtQuick, but only QPainter. Makes sense, thanks!
Yes, Breeze uses QPainter. I've been told that QtQuick does some shady stuff in shaders to align text to the pixel grid. Maybe that has something to do with why kerning is off.
