This is fixed in a later version of Discover. I have Discover 5.18.7 and Kubuntu 20.04 & I just experienced this issue. You're using a version of Discover that's 7 years old, and has been out of support by KDE for at least 6. You need to either upgrade to the latest version, or else contact Kubuntu for support. |
