Your patch fully corrected the reported issue. Thanks a lot!

Sorry for the late response. I now tested it and confirm that now all 
selections from the pull down menu let the KDE Plasma system apply 
exactly the described function.
I tested this in Wayland for all options of that pull down menu for the 
LEFT mouse button action.
I didn't test it for the other mouse buttons (MIDDLE and RIGHT), after 
the pull down menu for those worked correctly before and I understood 
that your patch anyway did not touch relevant code for the other 
buttons. I didn't test it in X11 by now, assuming it there is the same 
patch and thus should work the same.

For testing your patch I assumed that it would be necessary to install 
all packages in your folder:
https://people.debian.org/~coucouf/kwin_6.3.5-2~pre1/

Therefore I triggered from the directory to which I downloaded those files:

sudo apt install ./kwin-wayland_6.3.5-2~pre1_amd64.deb 
./libkwin6_6.3.5-2~pre1_amd64.deb ./kwin-data_6.3.5-2~pre1_all.deb 
./kwin-common_6.3.5-2~pre1_amd64.deb ./kwin-x11_6.3.5-2~pre1_amd64.deb

Would I receive the update to next versions of these packages still 
automatically, or I do I should I now first roll back to the former 
(buggy) packages in Trixie, so that they from that former versions than 
become correctly updated aautomatically again when your patches arrive 
in the Trixie repository?

Is the bug report still required after this confirmation that the bug is 
patched by your code? If so, would you have the URL where exactly I 
should report the bug, and against which package?

Best wishes,
Marco
