Are you sure this is the same issues? The linked bug handles Wayland, this is X11. Also the linked bug suggests that it's fixed with 5.27.2. This one here still keeps happening.

Might also be bug 466620. Do you by any chance have any HDMI monitors connected?
Comment 4 linuxbugs 2023-03-02 21:01:26 UTC
I use this machine as headless hypervisor for VFIO/passthrough. So this system with KDE has no graphics card assigned. And even if it did, the displays are connected either via DP or DVI, no HDMI.
