I’m using the 6.0.0 release and am noticing that unselectable items in menus appear “fuzzy” – almost like there’s a shadow on the font?
Once the item becomes selectable, e.g., if I rotate my view so that `Camera Undo` becomes selectable, the fuzziness goes away.
Nevertheless, it’s hard for my aging eyeballs to read options that I can’t select, for example, reading/navigating the `All Filters` panel is difficult:

That’s definitely not intentional. Do you have a high-resolution monitor or have some kind of overall display scaling enabled?

I suspect this is something to do with Qt6 and fractional scaling support (150%). Does it look not-fuzzy at 200%?

It looks like there’s a drop shadow involved. But the pixels themselves look crisp to me. Just a poor selection of colors.
