Description Firlaev-Hans 2021-11-13 17:57:01 UTC
SUMMARY
On Wayland, when I use a keyboard shortcut to move a window to a different workspace / virtual desktop on a system with two monitors, the window flickers a lot, but stays visible on the current workspace. Clicking it makes it disappear, though while it is still visible you can use a keyboard shortcut again to move it to yet another workspace (or back to the current one).
This issue does NOT occur with just one monitor (but I think it used to). It also does NOT occur if instead of a keyboard shortcut, the Alt+F3 menu is used to move the window to a different workspace

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Be on Wayland and have more than one monitor
2. Have >1 workspace and set KWin keyboard shortcuts for moving a window to a specific workspace 
3. Use the shortcut to move a window to a different workspace

OBSERVED RESULT
The window flickers and stays visible on the current workspace even though it was moved to a different one

EXPECTED RESULT
The window should simply disappear since it is no longer supposed to be on that workspace.

Your description looks very similar to mine issue with moving windows with shortcuts to other activities and virtual desktops. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444172.

Indeed, that seems to be the same issue.
