As a workaround I disabled Compositor and switched to GDM from SDDM.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-03-20 20:32:49 UTC 
If you re-enable compositing but still use GDM, does it break again, or stay working?
Comment 3 pauld 2021-03-20 21:26:16 UTC 
Enabling Compositor breaks it, even with GDM.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2021-03-21 02:22:43 UTC 
Then GDM is unrelated. It doesn't make much sense anyway because we're talking about the *lock* screen anyway, not the *login* screen (both SDDM and GDM are login managers, not screen lockers). So you can restore SDDM.

Upgraded to KDE 5.21 on Fedora 34: same issue.
Comment 6 pauld 2021-05-12 16:51:20 UTC 
Also, the issue appears only applicable when primary display switched to external monitor.
Comment 7 David Edmundson 2023-09-06 10:38:57 UTC 
This bug was reported against an outdated version of KWin. We have made many changes since the. 
If the issue persists in newer versions can you reopen the bug report updating the version number.
