Summary:
Text on buttons in various in-game menus (Settings, World Select/Edit, Save & Quit confirmation) renders blurry and garbled instead of clean and readable. Gameplay itself is unaffected, only menu/button text is affected.
Steps to reproduce:
Launch Minecraft Bedrock and play a world. Open Settings, or the world select screen, or the Save & Quit confirmation dialog. Button text appears blurry and garbled rather than sharp.
Expected result: Menu button text displays sharp and readable.
Actual result: Text is blurry and garbled.
Additional notes:
Fully closing and relaunching the game clears it every time. A full app data reset (via Windows Settings > Apps) also cleared it once, but the issue returned after continued play. Graphics driver is fully up to date (Intel UHD Graphics 630, driver 31.0.101.2145), issue persists regardless. Monitor refresh rate is 59.94Hz, not a high refresh rate. No consistent pattern to when it happens, has occurred within 10 minutes of starting a session, and has not occurred during 6+ hour sessions. Actual game version at time of report is v26.52.

This was marked as a duplicate of MCPE-242799, but that report describes large colored blocks, not blurry/garbled text. This is a different issue — please reopen. These screenshots show the issue better
It is not a different issue. Your screenshots show the same thing as the one in MCPE-242799.
MCPE-242799 was closed as "Awaiting Response" on 9/27 because its reporter never answered the tester's questions. I am a different person with the same bug, so here are the answers:
CPU: Intel Core i5-8500 @ 3.00GHz
GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630 (driver 31.0.101.2145, latest)
RAM: 24 GB (23.8 GB usable)
Windows 11 25H2 (OS Build 26200)
Minecraft 26.52
Still happening on 26.52. It gets worse the longer a single session runs and clears completely after restarting the game. I'll upload a video as soon as I catch it again. Could one of these reports be reopened so this can be tracked?
