Comment 4 Nate Graham 2026-04-22 16:48:36 UTC
Are we sure this isn't an applet-specific issue? I can't reproduce the issue with the Networks, Vaults, or Disks & Devices applets.

I can't try with the Printers applet though because I only have one printer.
Comment 5 Mike 2026-04-22 16:50:37 UTC
The visuals of the applet haven't changed in 2 years, so was a guess.  I just tested it.  Maybe there applet is doing highlight wrong, but that appears to go back to when you (nate) migrated it to ExpandListItem.

I can confirm that the issue only occurs with the print applet. 
But could this be linked to the fact that the print job doesn’t disappear once completed? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518706
Comment 7 Mike 2026-04-22 17:07:25 UTC
Most likely not related.  I have 12 printers set up with no jobs and it still happens. Sounds like the print-manager plasmoid is doing hover/highlight wrong.

Will be fixed by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/print-manager/-/merge_requests/322 instead.
