Can reproduce, only for the Meta key when KWin is handling it via the IIRC now-deprecated global "Activate Application Launcher" shortcut. Works fine when for shortcuts set on Kickoff itself.

Cannot reproduce when restarting plasmashell via systemd.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2024-05-14 23:16:31 UTC

Moving back to Plasma as the shortcut is actually provided by Plasmashell, not KWin.

Comment 3 fanzhuyifan 2024-06-15 22:12:13 UTC

This also happens for the Meta+Q shortcut for switching activities. So this seems like an issue with all shortcuts registered by plasma shell, instead of an issue specific to the Meta shortcut

Only happens if plasmashell --replace is run while the old plasmashell process is running. If the old plasmashell process is first terminated, then this bug does not occur.
