Disable the setting and re-enable it makes it work for another few hours or days. EXPECTED RESULT The setting remain working forever SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 35 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Experienced this constantly on my desktop, but rarely experience on my laptop, maybe there is some problem of handling external keyboard. Tried to change keyboard and it replicates.
After switching to a Bluetooth mouse, it replicates every time when mouse (and computer) is idle for sometime (and it disconnects temporarily maybe for energy control). I guess that whenever a keyboard or mouse is disconnected and reconnected this setting is somehow forgotten or refreshed.
This also happens when I use a bluetooth mouse and connect additional bluetooth device to it, e.g. earphone.
I now am almost sure that the setting will be overridden or ignored whenever a new Bluetooth connection is started. It is strange because my keyboard is connected by cable.
It seems to be fixed after switched to use wayland.
We have potential fix for that. Are you able to compile Plasma yourself to test it?
