Patch: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-workspace.git/commit/?id=19a88030d3de12a96402a1103c964e5a7363646c

The upstream bug report mentions that the patch is in plasma 5.8.5, but that's likely a typo given the date of the patch - they probably meant it would be in 5.8.6. In the meantime we could cherry pick it.
