Thanks for the bug report! Sorry we were not able to get to it yet. I tested this today with current git master on Wayland and everything is working as expected. Looks like it'll be fixed in Plasma 6.4, at least on Wayland.

If it's still broken on Wayland, unfortunately I think there's almost no chance of it being fixed, as nearly all development resources have shifted to Wayland.
