Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with either Plasma 5.27.11 (the current LTS version) or Plasma 6.2.5 (the latest released version)?

If you can still reproduce the bug, please change the Status to "CONFIRMED". Thanks.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, I know longer use LEAP and Texlive updates are now handled differently by the developer.
I can no longer reproduce the error.
