I again reiterate: have you tested this on a vanilla installation of KDE?
Don't assume its an upstream bug until you have verified it by getting the
upstream sources and testing it. As I said, most distributions patch KDE
pretty heavily with vendor and community patches, some of which change
behaviours (both defaults and code) from the expected ones from the
upstream.
