Flickering

Everything KDE from today's git master with Qt 6.7.2 on top of Fedora KDE 40.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make Night Light turn on somehow (always on, wait, change location, etc).
2. Change brightness via any method (keyboard keys, manipulating slider in widget, scroll over widget compact representation, etc)


OBSERVED RESULT
The brightness changes, but the screen flickers with un-night-light-tinted colors. See attached screen recording, and pardon my daughter's sleepy squeaking sounds, which are not a part of this issue.


EXPECTED RESULT
No un-tinted flickering.
