SUMMARY In the main center panel and in the left panel ("Favorites"), it is not possible anymore to see which application icon is currently selected (either when navigating with the arrows or when hovering with the mouse). Note that it is still working as expected in the right panel (the application categories menu). The navigation itself seems to work fine, i.e. you can navigate with the arrows and press enter to open the application, but since no icon is highlighted it is difficult to know which application will be launched. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the Application Dashboard 2. Type in some search term, preferably giving multiple results 3. Navigate with the left or right arrows OBSERVED RESULT No icon is highlighted, giving no clue as to which application will be opened when enter is pressed. EXPECTED RESULT The icon of the currently selected application should be highlighted.

Can reproduce. Probably a botched port to PlasmaExtras.Highlight. Will fix.
On my computer, this seems has been fixed by the latest update (Plasma 5.24.5, KDE Frameworks 5.94.0).

Seems like it happened again on the 5.25 beta.
I confirm that the bug reappeared in Plasma 5.25.
