ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Provided crash logs
Probably same issue was already reported but author could not find problem's origin. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470309
For some reason it only happens (for me) with taskbar thumbnails, task switcher thumbnails don't cause any problems. Turning off taskbar thumbnails solves issue.

The crash log shows a null pointer dereference in the kernel, triggered but not caused by KWin. Please report this to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues
