Sentry Crash Report:

Description Kishore Gopalakrishnan 2020-06-11 13:45:02 UTC 
SUMMARY
After upgrading to Plasma 5.19, the 'Screen Edges' desktop effect (that highlights edges or corners which have actions bound to them when the mouse cursor approached them) no longer works.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Bind some action to a screen corner (like 'present windows')
2. Check that the 'screen edge' effect is enabled
3. Move the cursor to the screen corner/edge which you had configured.

OBSERVED RESULT
The action works, but there is no blue glow when the mouse approaches the edge/corner like in previous Kwin versions.

EXPECTED RESULT
The effect should work if enabled, or it should be removed if this decision is intentional.

[x11] Provide physical dimensions for outputs

Since ScreenEdge no longer uses physicalDpiX() and physicalDpiY() from
the QPaintDevice class in favor of our own helpers, we need to ensure
that the X11 platform provides valid output physical dimensions.
