SUMMARY
Stylus tap doesn't produce the results of a left mouse click on KDE menu (possibly other areas, too)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Using a Wacom stylus, tap open the KDE menu
2. Try to interact with any items (other than Search, which is the only things that works)
3. Floating over and tapping (left mouse click equivalent) with stylus doesn't work.

Able to confirm on my own Arch Linux system running KDE Plasma 5.23.1. Tapping on the K menu with my stylus (Cintiq 24HD), the menu opens correctly. Hovering over a category with the pen works correctly, but then tapping on any of the applications does not seem to register as a click.

Simultaneous screen and libinput recording of attempting to click the menu

My previous reply was incorrect: hovering over the menu does not work as expected. I have attached a tarball containing a simultaneous screen and libinput recording of using the pen to interact with the menu. You can replay the libinput recording with `libinput replay <filename>` to reproduce the device and input events.

Comment 3 Jason G. 2021-11-29 23:49:33 UTC

I've just tried to reproduce this bug again today and found that I am now able to interact with the menu. My Arch Linux system is currently running version 5.23.3-1 of the Plasma desktop. I don't believe I've made any configuration change that would explain the sudden difference in behavior.

@OP, can you try updating your install and seeing if it resolves the issue as well?

You are lucky! But don't hesitate reporting bugs when you meet them in the future, because the more times bugs are reported, the higher the chance of fixing them.
