This bug happens occasionally and I've not managed to reproduce it.
Comment 2 David Edmundson 2017-05-13 08:34:24 UTC
Anything in stdout of plasmashell?

Is plasma frozen at this point? (just mouse over a taskbar and see if it highlights)
Comment 3 Jos van den Oever 2017-05-13 12:03:24 UTC
Plasma continues to work. I've no debug info available unf. It's a bug I've been seeing off and on for at least half a year.

After some time of regular use, when trying again, the windows do work well.

The windows are transparent. If they are before another window, you can see the content of that window, not just the background of plasma.

Are you able to reproduce this in Plasma 5.17?
Comment 5 Jos van den Oever 2019-11-18 11:32:04 UTC
In the past I did not find a way to reproduce this issue which happened occasionally. I've not experienced the issue for a long time. I'm still using X11 but have upgraded tot plasma 5.16.

Thanks! Let's call it fixed.
