SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04.1 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I cannot reproduce this with 5.6-git on Arch. On the other hand, I also can't find any commit in the intervening time that seems relevant. Can you please try with the 5.6.0 AppImage from https://www.kdevelop.org/download (or a locally-compiled build) and see if the current version works for you?
