Screenshot of the issue

SUMMARY
The widget shows the wrong name for some removable devices. When clicked, those devices only show the "remove" button without other actions available; the button is placed at random height with blank space around it. 
In the case shown in the screenshot, I had a USB hard drive with two partitions on it (the two devices on the bottom) and a 64  GB SD card connected. The SD card was not shown correctly, with it being presented as "700 GiB R...".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug in a removable device (e.g. an SD card)

OBSERVED RESULT
The wrong device name/capacity is shown.

EXPECTED RESULT
The correct device name/capacity is shown.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: KDE neon
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

Ugh, SD cards always have these glitches

> Ugh, SD cards always have these glitches

I've found this is true for partitions on hard disks as well.
I may be wrong, but it seems that what tricks these glitches is the presence of spaces in the name of the device: I've tried removing the spaces from the name (e.g. from "500 GB disk" to "disk") and the issues went away. This seems to also be connected to bug 428102 as I've noticed the same pattern there.

Hello and thank you again for the bug report! Unfortunately we were not able to address it yet, nor even manage to reproduce the issue ourselves. Can we ask you to please check if this issue is still happening with Plasma 5.27?

If it is, please change the status to REPORTED. Thanks a lot!
