System Tray Settings

I'm using Plasma built from sources, but this has been happening also when using with the Arch Linux packages for a long time (at least 2 years).

KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2 + kde

That's expected; as of Bug 415073 it should still appear as long as there are any brightness controls in it. Is that the case for your system?

No, there are no brightness controls. This is a regular desktop with a regular display hooked to a DisplayPort connector of an AMD GPU card.

Ah right, this was a bug in the beta that will be fixed in the final release. Please re-open with a new screenshot if it still happens to you with the final Plasma 5.24.
