Thank you for the bug report, and I'm sorry we weren't able to look into it yet. A lot has changed since it was reported; can I ask you to see if this is still an issue with Plasma 6.4 or later? Thanks a lot!

I tried to update the bug but I'm unable to get into the account I set up

The problem was resolved quite a while ago

Thanks for your diligence and thanks for what you have done for KDE
