Seems to work again as of 
23.0.4.3-1426 

Unsure if this was a nightly-build transient. 
I was wondering if the the scoop file light manifest could point instead to a monthly stable builds that have been checked to work instead of nightly builds direct from the kde-factory.  AFAICT, these automatic new nightlies, build every 3 days, and its is not clear if there are any changes into the app's codebase.

Seems to be an downstream (scoop) issue.
