Selecting emojis with the keyboard

SUMMARY
With the screen scalling setted at 125% the Emoji Picker is not accurate when you point at an emoji with the arrow pointer of the mouse or the arrows in the keyboard. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Preferences > Display and monitor > Display Configuration
2. Set Global Scale at 125% 
3. Launch the Emoji Picker

OBSERVED RESULT
Trying to select an emoji results in confusing highlight, when you point with the cursor to one emoji you actually are highlighting another one.

EXPECTED RESULT
The emoji pointed with the cursor is the one you are highlighting to select.

Cannot reproduce with git master version. Looking through the code changes, it seems as if this has already been fixed in Plasma 5.19.

Thanks for taking your time checking. I'm kinda new and I don't know exactly how this works... I just meant to ask, the fix is gonna be out for 5.18 in a given moment? Since it's the LTS release? Or its obligatory to upgrade to 5.19?
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2020-04-13 20:39:28 UTC
The 5.18 LTS Plasma release gets bugfixes throughout its lifetime, but not new features. Also some bugfixes are sufficiently complicated that they can't be easily or safely applied to 5.18. This may be one of them, unfortunately.

The way you would upgrade (even just temporarily) to the git master version of Plasma depends on your distro. For Kubuntu, you would add the Kubuntu unstable CI PPA: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ci/+archive/ubuntu/unstable

Note that there is a bit of risk involved in this, and while it's reversible, there's a chance that it could break your system while running.

For more information, you would want to ask in a Kubuntu-specific venue/forum/etc.

Hope that helps!
