Does it happen in any other KDE apps with spinboxes too, or only in Spectacle?

I'm sure it is an issue with spinboxes actually, I added a new attachment, you can see the red line is at the center of label and extending till spinboxes showing the text in spinboxes is not at the center, but rather a bit upward.

Cannot reproduce with `LANGUAGE=ar_AR spectacle`. What font are you using? It may be an issue with the font itself having a baseline that's too high.

Noto Sans.

So to be clear, you see it in all Spinboxes in QML software? For example there are a bunch on the Accessibility page in System Settings.

Or do you only see the issue in Spectacle?

As far as I know, this is an issue with Fedora and not KDE, because this issue is also in Fedora Workstation.
I created a Fedora discussions page, in which I went in with much more detail, including a fix for this issue.
