Hello ,

I have a few questions that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.

Quick questions:

1. Can you reproduce this in a clean project?
2. If so could you provide a detailed list of steps in order to reproduce this issue on our end?
3. Could you provide a screen shot of your widget hierarchy?

Yes, it appears to be a problem with text box only (regardless of how much text is in there).

All you have to do is place a text box and enter some text and zoom in and out, text will move. To help you see this clearer, add an image so you can see exactly where text should have stayed.

How did you anchor text to canvas? Is alignment of canvas slot set to (1, 0) for text on right side?

I have tried it without an anchor and without - nothing changes. Also changing alignment to 1,0 changes nothing too.
