The blue glow visible after I activate Application Launcher

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Put the panel into "automatically hide" mode in the panel settings.
2. Move the mouse cursor near the panel side of the screen (in my case bottom of screen)
3. A blue glow appears as you approach (before the panel actually appears)
4. Activate a widget in the panel.

OBSERVED RESULT
The panel appears due to the widget activation as expected, but the blue glow remains.

EXPECTED RESULT
The blue glow disappears when the panel reappears.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Manjaro Linux (5.19.0-1-MANJARO)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0
Qt Version: 5.15.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The blue glow also remains stuck if you change the panel setting from 'autohide' to 'always show' while the blue glow is visible, which can be done with the following command which toggles between 'autohide' and 'always show':

qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell evaluateScript "p = panelById(panelIds[0]); p.hiding = p.hiding == 'none' ? 'autohide' : 'none'"

Can reproduce both manifestations of the issue.

Cannot reproduce the issue anymore; it must have gotten fixed at some point.
