Hello.
I’ve been using KDE Plasma for about a month now, and I noticed that the system tray widget is somewhat weird if it’s on the desktop.
It is completely fine when it’s on the menu bar. It properly displays the popup above system tray widget itself.

But if it’s placed on the desktop, It always displays the popup at the very top of the screen like these images:

Also, it seems it cannot render icon and text properly.
The rendering issue is likely a bug, but I’m not sure if the position of the popup is intended or not, and I cannot find a way to change it. I tried it on the virtual machine too, freshly installed CachyOS, but the same things happens.
Is there any way to change the location of it? I want it to be on the bottom right of my screen or above the widget itself.
Here is my system info if it’s needed.
