Looks like it bisects to here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libplasma/-/commit/2bf22868e6b5bc021b1b47cd3f612656700e8cae

A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libplasma/-/merge_requests/1473

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2026-04-22 16:48:36 UTC

Are we sure this isn't an applet-specific issue? I can't reproduce the issue with the Networks, Vaults, or Disks & Devices applets.

I can't try with the Printers applet though because I only have one printer.

Comment 5 Mike 2026-04-22 16:50:37 UTC

The visuals of the applet haven't changed in 2 years, so was a guess.  I just tested it.  Maybe there applet is doing highlight wrong, but that appears to go back to when you (nate) migrated it to ExpandListItem.

I can confirm that the issue only occurs with the print applet. 
But could this be linked to the fact that the print job doesn’t disappear once completed? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518706

Comment 7 Mike 2026-04-22 17:07:25 UTC

Most likely not related.  I have 12 printers set up with no jobs and it still happens. Sounds like the print-manager plasmoid is doing hover/highlight wrong.

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2026-04-22 21:02:46 UTC

Will be fixed by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/print-manager/-/merge_requests/322 instead.
