--- Comment #1 from ratijas <me at ratijas.tk> ---
Technically, selection kinda "restores" position of the remaining characters
(to the right) of a word being partially-selected. Seems like all text is being
rendered with a negative letter spacing (instead of snapping letters to the
grid); and selection boundaries force text layouting to reset to a correct X
offset, but then letters proceed to drift until the end of a word.

I'm using MesloLGS NF font, and it's broken for Konsole, as well as all other
monospace fonts I have installed (Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, Hack etc).
On the other hand, Fira Code works without such issues.

Also, I found in Appearance settings on the last tab Emoji font, and it was set
to… simply "1pt" whatever that means. Seems like settings were not properly
migrated, and what I was was a "default value" -1 that developers often use as
an in-band signalling of an absence of value? Anyways, changing it to "Noto
Color Emoji 11pt" did not fix the bug.
