[SOLVED] KDE: Items in panels don't get highlighted anymore

Hello,

I've seen there was a few KDE threads already since the very last Qt5 and associated KDE packages update.
The bug I noticed (and I don't think it was listed yet) is that in the Application Launcher, the menu items do not get highlighted anymore when the mouse cursor hovers them. Previous version worked fine.
Other menus in KDE apps don't seem affected.

Note: actually, it does affect all Plasma panels, not just the App Launcher. But it only seems to affect the Breeze theme (both light & dark). Other themes don't seem to have this issue.

Anyone else bumped into this?

Ah, thanks! Clearing plasma cache files and logging out/back in after that solved the issue.

(I had read a couple threads elsewhere about a similar issue that suggested removing your plasma config files, which was a bit drastic and didn't look like something I wanted to do.)

Re: [SOLVED] KDE: Items in panels don't get highlighted anymore

For me, the following command was necessary, followed by logging out / back in:

rm ~/.cache/ksvg-elements

After that, highlights were enabled again. This fix is similiar to what was suggested in No highlighting in Application Launcher (KDE Discuss), however, the file referenced there had a different name. I don't know if the name just changed over the years, or if there are two different files which both need to be cleared.
