[FIXED] playback control keys unbind after kde lock screen

I have bind some F* keys for playback control in systemsettings→workspace→shortcuts→global shortcuts→media controller (F5 - pause/play, F6 - stop, F7 - prev., F8 - next). It did work very well for me. After latest kde update (added playback control buttons in lock screen) lock screen cause this keys to stop working, rebind does not help, only way to make it work again is restart plasma.

Anyone has this problem? (I can't check if regular mediakeys work)

I can confirm it. I'm also having this issue.

Ditto here.  I'm using dedicated media keys.  xev shows that the events are still generated for the keys (XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioPrev, XF86AudioNext) but the media controller no longer sends out the d-bus signals when viewed with qdbusviewer.
