Do you mean Kickoff (https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Kickoff) when you say "application launcher"?

Changing the status of the bug report.

Comment 3 CK 2021-01-11 16:10:40 UTC

it happens to the launcher menu, kickoff and alternatives.
I have noticed that it only begins to happen after I utilized krunner. and also it's applicable to fresh installs, as I haven't noticed such a misbehavior on another laptop that is running fedora 33 cumulatively upgraded from 29.
