KDE Frameworks Version: 5.57.0
Qt Version: 5.12.6

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It appears that on the Window Actions page  "Left button" actually means "button 1" and "Right button" means "button 2," and they are not actually mapping to the physical mouse buttons as set by the Left Handed option.

It would be a bit complicated to make that work with multiple devices potentially having different settings... Apps will also not swap their labels around, so I think it's best if the settings page uses the same logic anyways.
