Konsole (background) and Dolphin (foreground), showing the accent colour glitch.

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***

Using the Breeze Light theme with accented title bars turned on (did not test Breeze Dark), activating a window by opening a menu results in the accent colour not being correctly set in the newly activated window. This does not occur in GTK apps using the Breeze-GTK theme, only Qt apps.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two windows open (e.g. Konsole and Dolphin)
2. Click on the inactive window's menu, which will activate the window and open the menu
3. The newly activated window's accent colour is not correctly set, specifically in the "header" area and menu bar.

OBSERVED RESULT
The accent colour is not correctly set in the newly active window

EXPECTED RESULT
The accent colour is correctly set

More information:

This also happens in Plasma themes, too.

1. Create a separate color scheme from Breeze but check "tint all colors with accent colors", then save it as a separate file (ala-Material You).

Notice the color of the dolphin icon in the Icons-only task manager does not change.

However, the folders in the dolphin app do change color.

Can reproduce. I *think* this is a Breeze QStyle bug, but it might also be something in KWin.

The presence or absence of accent colors also doesn't seem to be relevant. I can reproduce the issue with the standard color scheme and no manually set accent color, just the stock color-scheme-provided highlight color.

This also happens here, notice the titlebar of the unfocused dolphin settings window.
Also, when taking screenshots of windows, the colors seem to be lost except in the main window's titlebar
