Description
### Kernel
6.18.32-1-cachyos-lts (64-bit)
### Desktop Environment / Window Manager
KDE Plasma
### CPU
8 × Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
### GPU / Driver
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
### Description
**Product:** kscreenlocker
**Version:** 6.6.5
**Platform:** CachyOS Linux
On a clean install of CachyOS with KDE Plasma 6, the "Lock screen automatically after" toggle in System Settings (Workspace Behavior ➜ Screen Locking) does not function as expected. The system continues to lock the screen after the specified timeout despite the toggle being off.
**System Information:**
* Operating System: CachyOS Linux
* KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.5
* KDE Frameworks Version: 6.26.0
* Qt Version: 6.11.1
* Kernel Version: 6.18.32-1-cachyos-lts (64-bit)
* Graphics Platform: X11
* Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Open `System Settings ➜ Workspace Behavior ➜ Screen Locking`.
2. Uncheck the box for "Lock screen automatically after".
3. Click "Apply".
4. Wait for the standard timeout period (e.g., 5-10 minutes) without user input.
### Expected Behavior
The screen should remain unlocked after the timeout period.
### Actual Behavior
The screen locks automatically after the timeout period.
### Logs / Error Messages

### Additional Context
The same behavior persists after disabling "Lock after waking from sleep" in Power Management. Toggling the "Manually Block Sleep and Screen Locking" feature in the system tray has no effect, and changing the system's Global Theme does not resolve the issue.
