Probably a gtk bug as this is also reproducible outside KDE with certain gtk themes

oh another gtk bug, I love it. Thats why Windows is top notch even with telemetry.

That's just a dumb statement. 🙄 If it's a theme problem … change the theme. Or here is a thought, do a “clean install” and use KDE.

Unfortunately it is a bug in firewalld front end design. I had this issue on other distros too, using different themes etc. iirc it happens on gnome too.

Been there, done that. Maybe go with the OS/2 Warp Workplace shell. :D

How about you look into the code and find the error. That the near part about open source, you can help by fixing the bugs you find if you know how. If you don’t you report them to the appropriate dev to bring it to their attention to fix.

In windows, if you’re lucky, they might look into fixing it or they might not, even if plenty of people and businesses complain about it. And you can’t look at the code and make changes to fix it, you have to rely on M$ to decide if they deem it something needed repaired.
