Can you paste the .desktop file of an application that shows this behavior? I suspect it's using an absolute path to an SVG which has proven to break in various places.

I have this bug on Plasma 5.9.4 . According to this forum thread: https://www.linux.org.ru/forum/desktop/13125978 this bug is also present on Plasma 5.8.5
Are there any updates on this?
Can confirm. For an incomplete list of similar issues, see https://phabricator.kde.org/D5109#162592. @Sefa: As a workaround, edit the desktop file and remove the filename extension from the icon's name. With this, I was able to see your example SVG in the application dashboard.

Judging from your screenshot, you are removing the file extension from the file itself. However, the workaround is not about that. It is about opening the .desktop file corresponding to the entry you are editing in a text editor. You should see "Icon=/path/icon.svg". Just remove the ".svg" from there.
Ahhh I see. I checked the .desktop files and they didn't have the extensions. After deleting the edited icons the original ones showed up - thanks :)
Just installed JetBrains Toolbox from official website and icons are correctly displayed in menu + from this toolbox installed PyCharm and it's icon is also displayed correctly Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition - Stable Branches Plasma: 5.11.4 Frameworks: 5.41.0 Qt: 5.9.3 Kernel 4.10.0-40-generic Type: 64-bit
Currently after updating and restarting Plasma - both 'Toolbox' and 'PyCharm' icons are displayed as default blank page icons
Reviving this issue. Could it be possible that this is an upstream issue with Qt? I have seen multiple issues regarding svgs and Qt.
Yup, it's a Qt issue: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-63187 We investigated working around this ourselves, but that caused other issues. We'll have to wait for or drive a Qt fix. Thanks for understanding, everyone!

For myself, I have places where the same SVG Icon does not work: dolphin and Application Menu, but works when attached to a Panel.
