a recording of kickoff freezing

SUMMARY
This causes plasma to freeze, using a lot of CPU and memory. When plasma unfreezes the allocated memory is not freed until the process is killed.
It can freeze plasma for multiple minutes, and it ends up allocating gigabytes of RAM if you keep hovering

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kickoff
2. Quickly hover up and down over the sidebar

OBSERVED RESULT
The longer this is done, the more memory ends up being used

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.8.0
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There's a recording attached with a systemmonitor window on the background to keep track of the used memory
