SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've reproduced this on two different Ubuntu 22.04 systems and have the same issue on both. Both are using X11.
Some searching for others with this issue suggested checking that the compositor is enabled. Both systems I checked have compositing enabled under Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Compositor.
