Huh, cannot reproduce with current git master. Thanks for the video; it made testing this very easy.

It's possible this has already been fixed for 5.27 with your recent changes, Niccolò. Do you think that's possible?

Can confirm this has been fixed in plasmashell git, bug no longer happens after updating to it!
