I'm thinking it is a bug also.  It did start right after a upgrade. 
They likely fixed something else and it caused this new problem.  I'm on
version 23.08.4 here. 

I may report it.  I don't know if I have a KDE bug account or not.  If I
do it's old and may or may not work anymore.  I'll give it a few more
updates and see if it gets fixed.  Then decide what to do. 

One reason I was asking, if no one else was seeing this, I was going to
reset my KDE config and get a fresh start.  I haven't done that in a
long time and quite often, new configs fixes some weird issues.  I'd
have to look to see what I have to change nowadays tho.  I seem to
recall they moved them ages ago.  It used to be ~/.kde<number> or
something. 

Thanks for letting me know it isn't just me.  That alone helps.
