Description: Disabling touchpad on 6.6.4 and then upgrading to 6.7.5 keeps the touchpad disabled. Steps to Reproduce: Fresh install of Fedora 44 (Plasma 6.6.4), no updates yet. Disable the touchpad in System Settings > Touchpad. Reboot and confirm it is still disabled. Update the system (Plasma updates to 6.7.5). The touchpad is still disabled, but the Touchpad settings page shows a blank Device dropdown with "Enable device" checked. Software and Hardware: Operating System: Fedora Linux 44 KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.30.0 Qt Version: 6.11.2 Kernel Version: 7.2.7-200.fc44.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × Intel® Core™ 7 240H Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.3 GiB usable) Graphics Processor 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU Graphics Processor 2: Intel® Graphics Manufacturer: Alienware Product Name: Alienware 16 Aurora AC16250 Touchpad: Elan I2C 04F3:32EA Additional Information: I installed Fedora 44 and did all the updates and found that I could not disable the touchpad. On that touchpad section of System Settings there was nothing showing in the menu to even select. I did a fresh install of Fedora 44. This time, before doing any updates, I checked the touchpad settings in the default Plasma 6.6.4 and was able to select my touchpad and disable it and it stayed disabled after a reboot. Then I did the updates and was then running Plasma 6.7.5 and the settings to disable the touchpad carried from 6.6.4 to 6.7.5. On 6.7.5 the Device dropdown is blank and 'Enable device' shows as checked even though the touchpad is disabled. I did not change anything or click Apply. See the attached screenshot, taken on 6.7.5 with no changes made. I confirmed the touchpad was still disabled on Plasma 6.7.5 while running kernel 6.19.10. The screenshot was taken later on kernel 7.2.7.
Can reproduce.
