Are you using multiple virtual desktops? If so, this is likely Bug 438552.

No, Not using virtual desktops, But it does have a ghost window on the desktop and I can't get it to respond using any means.

Thanks for the info.

Are you on Wayland, or X11.

I am using X11 on plasma
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2022-04-18 14:28:12 UTC
Thanks. I've heard other reports of this too on X11, but I am unable to reproduce the issue on Wayland at all. And I haven't seen it on X11 in a month or two either.

Would you be able to try current git master version of KWin and see if it still happens to you?
