Sadly Ubuntu 20.04 which Mint 20 is based on is still on konsole/focal 4:19.12.3-0ubuntu1 amd64

That’s sadly, this bug has been fixed for more than a year.

Options:
1. Use a PPA to get a newer version.
2. Use a distro that comes with newer versions like KDE Neon.

well, that are not solutions, are workarounds ...

thanks anyway

KDE can't help you in this case, your distro is responsible for giving you packages, KDE team just make the software.

Kubuntu have decided (so far) not to upgrade to newer Plasma apps. It is not something the KDE team can control.

I suggested KDE Neon as it's closest to your current OS, it is an LTS base with the latest Plasma applicaitons, framekwork and desktop.

in case somebody runs into the same problem, it comes a long way appearently from Debian, anyway, I saw casually at boot 
"/lib/systemd/system-generators/live-config-getty-generator failed"
and went looking after that 

so, at some point I uninstalled some of the live-* packages and my thoughts about beeing necessary only for running the live CD was wrong

now I reinstalled live-config and live-tools rebooted and my konsole problem is gone

I still see an error in dmesg 
/lib/systemd/system-generators/live-config-getty-generator failed with exit status 2

but that I look at later 

cheers
