Also confirmed on:

Fedora 39 KDE Spin VM (latest updates as of Tue 27 Feb 24), running as Virtualbox guest under Windows 11 host;
Fedora 39 KDE Spin VM, (latest updates as of Tue 27 Feb 24), running as Gnome Boxes guest under Ubuntu 22.04 host;
KDE Neon Developer VM, (updates crashing under Discover on Tue 27 Feb 24, but up-to-date prior to that) running as Gnome Boxes guest under Ubuntu 22.04 host.

The bug exists whether Plasma is in a Wayland session, or an X11 session, regardless of whether Num Lock is on or off, in either case.
