This has already been fixed for Plasma 6, but then it was re-broken again by Bug 476666. :/

Comment 2 Nicola Mori 2023-11-10 06:16:11 UTC

Thanks Nate, but as I understand this is being worked for Plasma 6: will the fix be backported to 5.27 series?

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-11-15 22:21:09 UTC

I'd say it's doubtful, unfortunately.

Comment 4 Nicola Mori 2023-11-16 07:10:07 UTC

Well, this is disappointing. A standard feature breaks in the current stable version and there's no plan to fix it. Not everybody will jump on Plasma 6 on day 0 so I was expecting more care for the 5.27 series.
