a screenshot of the problem happening

SUMMARY
the 'caret' (typing cursor) gets offset a bit more every time a character is typed when in konsole. The offset seems to apply to the space character as well when space bar is pressed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open konsole or yakuake
2. type anything
3. done

OBSERVED RESULT
the 'caret' or the typing cursor gets offset from each typed character as well as the space character

EXPECTED RESULT
the 'caret' should be at the end of the last typed character and space should not have an offset like that

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
nobara linux 41
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2

Other notes
in the picture the large spaces are from one space character

This did happen once in browser search bar, but I couldn't reproduce after a restart

Hi - this appears to be related to trying to use a proportional, rather than monospaced, font in Konsole, so I'm merging this in with the related issue that's been filed previously. Thanks!
