Each of these uses a custom view; we'll need one bug report per affected applet. Let's use this one for Kickoff.
Comment 2 Noah Davis 2022-01-25 22:26:25 UTC 
I think this was done intentionally at some point, but I can't remember when it was done, why it was done or who did it. I'm OK with removing or keeping it. Git blame says it's my code, but I distinctly remember trying to preserve existing behavior.

```qml
        highlight: PlasmaCore.FrameSvgItem {
            // The default Z value for delegates is 1. The default Z value for the section delegate is 2.
            // The highlight gets a value of 3 while the drag is active and then goes back to the default value of 0.
            z: root.currentItem && root.currentItem.Drag.active ?
                3 : 0
            opacity: view.activeFocus
                || (plasmoid.rootItem.contentArea === root
                    && plasmoid.rootItem.searchField.activeFocus) ? 1 : 0.5
            imagePath: "widgets/viewitem"
            prefix: "hover"
            visible: plasmoid.rootItem.contentArea !== root
                || ActionMenu.menu.status !== 1
        }
```

`visible: plasmoid.rootItem.contentArea !== root || ActionMenu.menu.status !== 1` is the relevant bit of code. We just need to remove `|| ActionMenu.menu.status !== 1`.

applets/kickoff: remove highlight visibility conditions

These conditions seem unnecessary and cause a minor bug. Let's remove
them and allow the ListView to manage highlight visibility itself.
