Have you tried any other VNC viewer?  

My current work-around is to use TigerVNC to reach a Linux remote.  I'm curious if it's the same for you.  I'm also on Tumbleweed.

For reference, here's the Tumbleweed bug reference - https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1222019

TigerVNC doesn't support MacOS security type (it's not standard) so doesn't connect. My workaround to use older version of KRDC from this repo:

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:wolfi323:branches:KDE:Frameworks5

It's installed into /opt, so could be installed at the same time as newer KRDC and works fine.
