than the focused window

SUMMARY
Apparently a focus bug causes cursor right to sometimes apply to the plasma
task list widget rather than the focused window. In practice, this means when I
use cursor keys to navigate text in applications, sometimes suddenly cursor
right will bring up a completely different window (despite it also being
processed as cursor right by the previous window as intended). If I click onto
a window a couple of times the focus will sometimes stick again, and cursor
right will no longer be also processed by the task bar. I'm not entirely sure
this is what happens but I think it is. On my older plasma 6.3 machine this
doesn't happen, or I haven't ever seen it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use cursor keys to navigate text a lot, including cursor right key. This
happens with all applications, I tried among others xfce4 terminal,
Thunderbird, some electron apps, at least one SDL2 app, and so on. So I don't
think the apps or their toolkits are at fault. This seems to be happening at
the kwin or plasma level.
OBSERVED RESULT
Cursor right will sometimes switch to a completely different window like alt
tab. From how the task bar icons look slightly hovered or focused, I'm thinking
it's somehow the plasma icons only task widget grabbing the cursor key input
somehow, which I assume must be forwarded to it (incorrectly) by kwin on some
level.
EXPECTED RESULT
Cursor right only goes to the focused window.
