Demonstration of text highlight mismatching font size

SUMMARY
When highlighting text and resizing the font, it's easy for the highlight to get out of sync with the actual font size.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new document
2. Create a text object with the text tool and click the text to highlight it
3. Edit the Font Size slider back and forth
4. The text highlighting goes out of sync with the font size

This was tested with Qt Platform Name:  "wayland". 
Attached is a video recording of the bug, along with additional system info.
