SUMMARY
After typing in Hebrew into the "edit-text" window and saving, the text-box on the canvas appear completely empty (sometimes with only bits of the first letter in the left side of the box). If I try to drag the text-box with the "Select shapes tool" to the right, the text I've inserted would be "printed" on the canvas as if it was a stamp brush.
After closing and re-opening the the file the trail caused by dragging the text-box would disappear. But the text inside the text-box wouldn't be rendered either

That's probably because we currently render text using Qt's text layout. Wolthera has rewritten the layout engine completely (https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/1403) and this should be better when that gets merged. We cannot fix it in the existing code.
