I wanted to call this a blocker, but if it was the same in 2.2.3 that puts it down a peg.
Still it's pretty bad and we should fix it!

As I was working on font render issues I think this has been addressed as well. Should be in for rc2

This does indeed seem fixed on develop for me. Would you mind confirming @matwachich?

[matwachich]

I confirm that the bug is....... different!
Less present ideed, but it's different
Look

Thanks for the update. I think what you report is an old issue appearing again whereby a text refreshes to screen with the new size but the old texture (so it appears stretched). I will try and dig up the other issue and relate it to this one

Just a little bump hoping this issue hasn't been forgotten...
The flicker makes app a little unprofessional imho :)

[Jacalz]

The issue has been closed as completed. What do you mean with forgotten?
EDIT: Never mind. I see what you mean.

If it is still an issue on develop it should be re-opened. I guess I couldn't find the original issue...

Tested on develop and still an issue, not on entry thoght.
For me it happens with newrichtextfrommarkdown:

I think i'll open a new issue soon.

I think that may be a different issue to this original report.
The prior was due to horizontal spacing but yours shoes, I think, a breakdown in the pixel alignment during paint.
