Created attachment 112594 [details] Slideshow with color black background selected After each reopening of the plasma session, the background color of the slideshow disappears and is replaced by the very enlarged image of the slide show.
I forgot to say that this problem appeared after the upgrade of KUBUNTU from 17.10 to 18.04
This bug does not seem to interest anyone, yet it is easily reproducible!
Works fine here (5.13 beta) Can you give me some exact steps.

Created attachment 112883 [details] Choice wallpaper before closing session wallpaper after re-opening session In the choice of the wallpaper, I choose slideshow and black color in the background. Its good. I close the session. I open the session. I no longer have the color black in the background but the image blur. Yet in the choice of wallpaper, the black color in the background is always selected. See the 2 screenshots. This is repeated at each logon
I'm seeing this on FreeBSD. KDE is broken up into so many pieces these days that I don't even know which package installs the wallpaper stuff , but plasma5-plasma-desktop is version 5.12.5. So, if this ends up being fixed with 5.13, then great, but it's trivially reproducible on my system. Basically, it looks like every time I log into KDE, it ignores the wallpaper setting for the background color and just uses blur instead of the solid color that was selected. The setting itself does not change, but it's clearly ignored, as any images that do not match the screen's aspect ratio end up with the blur effect rather than the solid color until I go into the wallpaper settings dialog and reapply the correct settings. To reproduce, obviously, a setting that does not necessarily cover the entire background (e.g. "Scaled, Keep Proportions") must be used, and the background image must be of a different aspect ratio than the screen so that the background actually shows. And if it matters, I have it set to "slideshow," though I expect that other settings such as "image" would exhibit the same problem. Honestly, I find it a bit disturbing that "blur" is even a thing given how hideous it is, but regardless, the settings should be adhered to, not ignored. Hopefully, 5.13 does fix this though.
Cannot reproduce with Plasma 5.15.5. Let's say 5.13 fixed it. :) For the record, the wallpaper stuff lives in plasma-workspace/wallpapers: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-workspace.git/tree/wallpapers
