This was fixed already in Plasma 5.20.

No it isn't. I'm on 5.21.4 and it happens all the time.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2022-01-25 17:26:05 UTC
Hmm, that's a shame. Unfortunately the version of Plasma that you're using is a bit old at this point; 5.21 is no longer supported, 5.23 is the latest supported version, and 5.24 is going to be released in less than two weeks. So I'm afraid will not be able to investigate the issue with your Plasma 5.21 setup.

If you can still reproduce the issue with Plasma 5.23 or 5.24, could you open a new bug report for it? Thanks!
