So it worked previously (which is not stated in the original post) ?

yes it used to work.

Possibly , remotely , similar to this issue (?) - they have submitted a bug report

Not exactly the same, but it’s a “connect a phone” issue.

I have had this issue on earlier KDE versions, I dont have this issue on my laptop.
