[Bug]: Cloned panel keeps Panel Colorizer visible when "Hide widget (visible in Edit Mode)" is checked #537

Description

@re1sub

I have:

  • Searched if this issue hasn't been reported yet.
  • Verified that I am using the latest version

Install method used:

  • AUR, using yay -S plasma6-applets-panel-colorizer

Describe the bug
When I clone a panel that contains the Panel Colorizer widget and that widget had the "Hide widget (visible in Edit Mode)" option checked, the cloned widget appears visible in the new panel even though the option is still checked. Right-clicking the widget shows the option as enabled, but it has no effect until I uncheck and re-check the option, after which the widget hides as expected.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add the Panel Colorizer widget to a panel.
  2. In the widget settings, enable "Hide widget (visible in Edit Mode)" so the widget is hidden in normal mode.
  3. Clone the panel (create a duplicate/copy of the panel that contains the widget).
  4. Observe the cloned panel: the Panel Colorizer widget is visible in normal mode despite the option being checked.
  5. Right-click the widget and toggle the "Hide widget (visible in Edit Mode)" option off and then on again, the widget then hides correctly.

Observed Result
The cloned widget is visible in the new panel even though "Hide widget (visible in Edit Mode)" is checked; the option appears checked in the context menu but does not take effect until toggled.

Expected Result
When cloning a panel, the Panel Colorizer widget should preserve and apply the "Hide widget (visible in Edit Mode)" setting in the cloned panel so the widget remains hidden without requiring a manual toggle.
