Issue on Plasma 6.5.5

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have multiple mouse devices listed.
2. Move the one you want to configure.

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be an indicator showing which device of the list is moving the cursor, clicking, etc. So it becomes easier to identify the device.
