Border background of label wrapping individual letters

Question

Using Qgis 3.28.14

I am trying to visualize labels with a background and setting the border of the background.

The result I am having is wrapping each letter instead of the entire label

How do I get to have the outline for the entire label?

Edit:

relevant settings

Background: rectangle buffer simple fill with outline

Placement: curved allowed position: Left of line, on line, Line orientation dependent position Label overrun set very high

@Erik full label settings is pretty vast. What exactly do you need to know? — geotyr

Maybe sharing a sample dataset could help - even with dummy data if you don't want to reveal actual data. — Babel

it is easy to reproduce. a line label with background and outline set to curved placement...but I think, there is no solution, only to set it to "parallel" or "horizontal" line placement — eurojam

@eurojam, yes, you got the settings right, I just added them, and setting the placement to parallel does the trick. It is the solution I needed if you want to post it. A curved placement was not necessary here. — geotyr

If the line label placement mode is set to "curved" it looks this:

setting it to "parallel" - if possible - would avoid that
