SUMMARY
The Select Shapes Tool allows for some basic transformation operations of vector objects. Previously, scaling a text object with the Select Shapes Tool was essentially restricted to mirroring it. This restriction is gone with the new Text Tool and it leads to some odd offsetting behaviours. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create new document
2. Select Text Tool and create placeholder text object (generating a new vector later)
3. Select the Select Shapes Tool
4. Click on the text and drag the bottom handle (the white square) upwards until the text flips
5. The Text offsets from it's original position by Y-coordinate minus the original height
6. The same things happends in the X-direction if dragging the left handle

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