This is fixed in Plasma 6, and it might have even been fixed in a later version of 5.27; I can't quite remember at this point. 5.27.3 is quite old; I would recommend upgrading.
Comment 2 Alexander Potashev 2025-08-16 14:33:11 UTC 
Still doesn't work if compositing is disabled. Works when compositing is enabled.

Aha, that's expected since these are composited effects.
