Screen record

After upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04, the keyboard shortcuts for moving/resizing the active window, for example, to the left side of the screen or to expand the window to full screen, stopped working for me. As soon as a window is opened, for example, the Konsole window, the keyboard shortcuts work, but as soon as the window receives input from the keyboard, the window title ceases to be active and the keyboard shortcuts stop working until the window is minimized and maximized again.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Setup keyboard shortcut for moving/resizing windows (System Preferences=>Shortcuts=>KWin)
2. Open any window
3. Try moving/resizing with shortcuts (it will work)
4. Press any keys on your keyboard (at this point, the window title will become inactive)
5. Try moving/resizing with shortcuts again (it won't work anymore)
6. Minimize the window and maximize it
7. Try your shortcuts again (this will work again)

Below I have attached a video that shows the problem.

What shortcuts exactly did you set? From the attached screen recording, it looks like you assigned custom shortcuts to quick tile actions.

Hi. I have configured global shortcuts for KWin, not custom.

I cannot reproduce the bug. What global shortcuts did you configure?

I have configured Quick Tile Window to the {Buttom, Top, Left, Right, etc}.
Also in my case other shortcuts such as Alt+F4 do not work.

Pardon me! The problem was solved after deleting the ~/.kde folder. Thanks
