STEPS TO REPRODUCE Lock the session through the the Application Menu. OBSERVED RESULT It can randomly stay open after unlocking the session.

Can reproduce. Kickoff is affected, too.
Can you confirm that this actually applies to Application Menu/kicker? If so, is it from the Power / Session menu entry, or from a sidebar favorite lock icon, or from something else (maybe some context menu somewhere)? Everything in kicker should already close when clicked, but I may have missed some condition. In Application Launcher/kickoff, I can reproduce it and have a fix, but not in Application Menu/kicker.

Git commit 04c747a41d8c01248c7baeec5c852c2298f76fc3 by Christoph Wolk. Committed on 02/12/2025 at 16:50. Pushed by cwo into branch 'master'. applets/kickoff: also close when triggering from footer menu Kickoff already closes when one of the power/session buttons from the menu is pressed, but the same does not happen if the same action is shown in the overflow menu. Instead, also close kickoff in that case. M +6 -1 applets/kickoff/LeaveButtons.qml https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/commit/04c747a41d8c01248c7baeec5c852c2298f76fc3
