What do you mean exactly by "Enable the the menu bar widget"?

What thing are you specifically scrolling over to make this happen?

You place the mouse cursor over the "desktop manager" and you use the mouse whell to select another desktop.
In the past when you did that while the last desktop was active then the first when got selected, now it is not anymore.

The problem is actually that the setting seems to be a noop when defined from the control panel you obtain from `kcmshell5 kcm_kwin_virtualdesktops`.

When defined from the panel you obtain using the context menu of the virtual desktop selector then the setting is handled correctly.

Aha! This is in fact expected behavior. The setting in the control panel only affects wrap when scrolling on the desktop or using global keyboard shortcuts. The setting in the settings window of the Pager widget only affects wrap when scrolling over the Pager widget.
