What exactly is wrong with Krita's 5.2.x and 5.3.0 prealpha's text and vector engine?

Lag? Sometimes.
Glitches ? Consistently in some specific scenario.
What is happening that is bizarre ?

Text writing is glitchy.
The “scales styles” and “global coordinates” are weirdly behaving on a vector object.
They always behave like the center of the object is far away, outside from the visible
portion of the canvas or viewport.

Additionally : when you place vector rectangles on the canvas, and try to control its handles
using the pen of your tablet, even after you lift your pen and keep moving, the handle glues
itself to the cursor and will never stop moving if you don’t stop moving yourself.

This never happens with the mouse.

Now I’m wondering how many other obscure bugs and unexpected behaviors this software possesses.

Keep discovering more bugs; this is important for the developers.

Regarding the report about the pen keeping moving, if you’re on Windows, it might be ‘Windows Ink’ causing this.

This is perhaps worth mentioning in the text tool thread instead?
