A screenshot of the emoji picker, scrolled down a bit, displaying some emojis off-grid and the selector and tofu on-grid.

SUMMARY
Emojis aren't rendered to the grid in the emoji picker, making it rather hard to pick them.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start emoji picker. 😬

OBSERVED RESULT
Emojis are offset from the grid table they're in. Selector and tofu is not.

EXPECTED RESULT
Emojis are rendered to the same grid as everything else.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Perhaps my use of noto-color-emoji has something to do with this? Or the screen scaling factor of 1.6?
I'm assuming Emoji Picker version is the same as KDE version, since I can't find a package or figure out how to bring up an about menu in the Emoji Picker.

I have the same issue on my laptop, with a HiDPI screen scaled to 150% (15" MBP).
As I don't have this issue on my desktop (1440p at no scaling), I would say that it's almost certainly a result of the scaling. 
I haven't changed the emoji font, so it's whatever's default for Kubuntu 20.04/KDE on both computers. The same issue was present on Kubuntu 19.10.

I've added a screentshot showing the same as the original bug submitted. The mouse pointer is offset from the selected/highlighted emoji.

Can you reproduce it Plasma 5.19 or 5.20 Beta? The easiest way is to try KDE Neon. Here are some improvements since 5.18. Maybe the issue has been fixed...
Comment 4 DDR 2020-09-25 08:52:14 UTC
Fixed in 5.19.
