With this file, the text is rendered correctly on Linux,  but incorrectly on Windows. That makes it sound like it's an issue with Qt's text rendering engine, since there is no platform specific code in Krita.

I installed Linux on my laptop and con confirm, looks fine on Manjaro but Windows 11 has the issue

However, moving the textbox on Linux seems to have similar graphical smearing

This should be fixed now, though no clue what caused the original problem: we basically replaced the whole text-layout.
