KDE Partition Manager' authentication window behind

SUMMARY
KDE Partition Manager's authentication window is left behind


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KDE Partition Manager
2. If it opened as expected, close it and open it again.
3. If again it opened as expected, close it and try to open it in another way, like from a desktop shortcut or from it being pinned to the task bar

OBSERVED RESULT
Sometimes the authentication windows is left behind its window so you have to either minimize KDE Partition Manager's window to see it and input the password and press ok or click on the authentication window's icon in the task bar to bring it to front and then input password and press ok to see afterwards the KDE Partition Manager loads its window content in both its panels.
It looks like after KDE Partition Manager is started, the authentication window appears first and then the KDE Partition Manager's windows is quickly opened too on top of it, even though it cannot display any content without the authentication window being dealt with first.


EXPECTED RESULT
One of these solutions:
1. Keep KDE Partition Manager's authentication window On top / front of it, even if it appeared first, so that the password can still be typed and then Ok or Enter pressed, as KDE Partition manager's window is useless without a successful authentication.

2. Do what Gparted is doing, show the authentication window first, as it is right now, but then don't open KDE's partition Manager's window until a proper authentication is made.
I prefer solution 1, but I would be ok with 2 also if 1 is too hard to do.
Having to always minimize or click on the authentication window's icon every time I open KDE Partition manager is too time consuming and annoying.
First time it happened I didn't even understand why KDE Partition was not working.
Only later I noticed the authentication window's icon.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma on Wayland: 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2 
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Linux kernel 6.2.4 (from Ubuntu's archive)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I could not always reproduce this successfully.
Sometimes it opens with the authentication window on top as I prefer it and sometimes it doesn't.
And I could not figure out why or how to always trigger the same behavior, either one of them.
BTW, can you please check if this bug report is related to this one?
