Either there's no highlight or it gets stuck on the first app on the list

SUMMARY
On Discover, if you click on an app to open its page the corresponding card on the app list does not get highlighted. Oftentimes the highlight will get stuck on the first item of the list, though there have been times when no highlight was present. I'll attach a video to clarify what I mean.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on a random app

OBSERVED RESULT
The currently opened app does not get highlighted on the app list. Sometimes the highlight gets stuck on the first app on the list.

EXPECTED RESULT
The current app gets highlighted

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.81.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.245.0
Qt Version: 6.6.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Screen resolution: 1280x800 (On a VM)
Comment 1 guimarcalsilva 2023-11-12 21:33:07 UTC
I have just noticed that apps do not get highlighted on the Home page on Plasma 5.27 as well, however, on 5.27 the other pages do get highlights, whereas on Plasma 6 none of them do, so this is still a regression, even though the bug, specifically on the Home page, is not new.

Can reproduce but only for the "All Applications" list while in widescreen mode.

Don't show more than 2 columns in wide view

This is as per the recommendation in #27. The three column mode just
does not work that well here.
