Can you by any chance attach a screen recording that shows this issue happening? My attempts to reproduce it with git master have failed, but the bug report is lacking some detail, so a screen rcording that shows the problem happening would he helpful. Thanks!

v desktop jumps

Hi,
Here it is
I got 8 desktops, the video I recorded shows the top left, top center and top right desktops
From 0 to 10 sec : normal behavior using keyboards shortcuts to move from discover  on top center to system settings on top right.
From 10 sec : I do the same using the mouse to go from top center to top right and I end up on top left which is empty
From 30 to 35 : using shorcuts again, no jumps

Thanks. Unfortunately the screen recording doesn't really help me understand what's going on. :/ Moving to KWin; maybe folks there can figure it out.

Switched from Kubuntu to Fedora and the issue does not occur anymore, I may guess that plasma on Kubuntu is still a bit too recent.
