Any video playback will freeze if you move the mouse cursor inside the window thumbnail preview box, video will resume if you stop moving your mouse cursor or if the cursor leaves the preview box. It doesn't matter which thumbnail or which application is playing the video. Tested with XBMC, VLC, Flash videos on Firefox and Steam. Reproducible: always.
what kind of thumbnails are you talking about?

- does other animated content run ("glxgears" etc.) - does it happen with suspended compositing? (Shift+Alt+F12) - does it happen with xrender compositing?

(Shift+Alt+F12) > - does it happen with xrender compositing? glxgears and opengl games also freezes Same Issue with Xrender Works fine with composition suspended
Could you please provide the output of: qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation when the problem occurs. Reassigning to plasma-frameworks as that's where the Thumbnail component lives. Note: I tested the development of the component with video playback.
output of qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation: http://paste.kde.org/ppklefvjc It appears to be the same whether the video is freezed or not.
can you activate the "show paint" effect and see whether the video region keeps flickering (despite the window being frozen)?

can you please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

I don't have the issue any more. I also don't know by what version it was fixed. If you're curious, here's a video of what the issue was: https://youtu.be/DaLEZACZmmo?t=323 If no one else is experiencing the issue, it should closed. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the update!
