*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 454004 ***

Not again...
Can confirm.
See also https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/commit/3078bc25dfe49bb627ae9a65cd18020054a5950e that was the rationale for https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1994. @ahiemstra Could you please give this a look? The MR seems to have caused this issue :( Though that does not help fixing the original bug about the presets being loaded wrong.
