Is there anything I can help with to get this issue fixed?
Thanks for the bug report. Sorry it's taken a while to get noticed. The two options most likely to lead to a fix are to investigate the code and submit a patch, or pay someone else to do so. That said, in my testing the issue does not seem to be present in Plasma 6, so let's call it fixed. This is plausible as a *ton* of work has gone into squashing panel bugs in Plasma 6.
