[SOLVED] GTK4 App Hides Minimize and Maximize buttons on KDE Plasma

I am looking for the GTK4 music app Gapless to display minimize and maximize buttons, whereas it currently only shows the close button.

I am using KDE Plasma as my desktop environment. I have two Arch Linux installations, one on baremetal and another in a virtual machine on a windows 11 computer and the virtual machine has the buttons present, but baremetal does not. As far as I can tell, I have set these two environments roughly the same way.

Both are using the default Breeze theme for GTK apps in the Gnome/GTK Application Style theme section of Plasma system settings.

~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini is set to show them.

[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true
gtk-cursor-theme-name=WinSur-white-cursors
gtk-cursor-theme-size=36
gtk-decoration-layout=icon:minimize,maximize,close
gtk-decoration-layout=menu:minimize,maximize,close
gtk-enable-animations=true
gtk-font-name=SF Pro,  10
gtk-icon-theme-name=WhiteSur
gtk-modules=window-decorations-gtk-module:colorreload-gtk-module
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=true
gtk-sound-theme-name=ocean
gtk-theme-name=Breeze
gtk-xft-dpi=98304

Is this an error somewhere on my part or a bug somewhere. Any suggestions where to report it if it is a bug?
