bug happening on KDE Neon

Hello.

I can confirm that I have the same bug here on KDE Neon too (KDE 5.26.5, KDE Frameworks 5.102.0, Qt 5.15.8). It happens when system language is set to Arabic.

I am not sure on what could be the reason for this, though.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2023-01-24 19:05:05 UTC 
Can confirm, reproducible with `kcmshell5 kcm_autostart --reverse`.

Weird!
I ran that command and it looks like the bug disappears!
It only appear when I manually navigate to the autostart compnent from system settings!
