Comment 1 Nate Graham 2021-08-02 18:08:46 UTC 
Looks like it's not automatically switching to the subcategory list. I cannot reproduce this issue when clicking the button on the Quick Settings page, but I can reproduce it in other contexts; see Bug 440457. I suspect they will have the same root cause, or a similar one.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-10-26 15:18:46 UTC 
Still reproducible.
Comment 3 Patrick Silva 2024-01-11 12:27:56 UTC 
Can reproduce on Plasma 6 RC1.

1. open System Settings > Colors & Themes

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2024-01-11 15:35:07 UTC 
Hmm, I can't reproduce this anymore on RC1 myself.

Can you attach a screen recording, Patrick?

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2024-01-12 21:37:55 UTC 
Can reproduce now. It seems that it only happens when you click on the "More Appearance Settings" button after previously navigating elsewhere that shows a subcategory. If you click the button as soon as yo launch System Settings, it doesn't happen.

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2024-05-20 16:25:00 UTC 
Looks like this was also fixed by the commit that fixed Bug 446288 and Bug 434345, which was authored by Nicolas Fella and will appear in Plasma 6.0.5!
Comment 9 Patrick Silva 2024-07-10 02:53:38 UTC 
it's still reproducible with steps from comment 5.

Comment 10 Nate Graham 2024-07-22 21:38:32 UTC 
Yeah, can reproduce in 6.1.3 as well.
Comment 11 Nate Graham 2026-08-17 21:50:28 UTC 
This appears to have just been fixed with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/systemsettings/-/commit/c26d1b64bd853e765f18b20454752b0e8d3f6274!
