Can you post the xprop output of Onboard? (run xprop in terminal, e.g. `sleep 5 && xprop` and click anywhere inside onboard) Created attachment 146534 [details]
Onboard xprop
Here it is. If you need anything else, let me know!
I have noticed the resizing issue extends beyond the use of virtual keyboards. As an example, it looks like connecting an external screen to my laptop (so a different device from the one used for the initial report) temporarily changes the screen geometry to a smaller one, making all windows smaller, and the normal size is not restored once the geometry itself is restored to the proper value. Same problem with maliit virtual keyboard on Wayland session.

I have tracked this specific case down to Latte and I have opened bug 450539, which was however immediately closed saying the problem stems from KWin. As I have learned in these months, the bug is not related just to virtual keyboards. It applies to a variety of other situations, e.g. with Latte as mentioned before, but also with Plasma panels in some situations. It appears that KWin does not restore the size of windows properly in general, not just with virtual keyboards (and this may be the cause behind bug 457950, just to name one which I know). There has been a lot of work in this area since the last update on this bug report, most of these things should be fixed by now, so I'll mark this as resolved. There's bug 459136 to track the remaining issue with virtual keyboards specifically; if you find any other corner cases where KWin doesn't restore window sizes properly, please make separate bug reports for the specific issues. This has unfortunately never been fixed and has kept on happening all the time. I still have this issue with the latest Plasma.
