SUMMARY
Randomly, a window will appear on every virtual desktop when showing desktop grid.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create at least four (four is my setup) virtual desktops.
2. Open at least two apps. Put each window on separate virtual desktops.
3. Just keep toggling the desktop grid.

OBSERVED RESULT
One window (the active window?) will appear on every desktop.

EXPECTED RESULT
Each window should only appear on the virtual desktop they were placed.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm not sure how to reproduce it, it just happens randomly. It happened to me four times already. It's not been so long since I started using desktop grid.

Hi, thank you for your bug report!

Are you on Wayland or X11? I can't seem to reproduce this issue on Wayland.

I also noticed that in the screenshots, the mpv window seems to be fullscreen.
Does this only happen for you on fullscreen apps? (I tried setting it full screen but I can't seem to reproduce the issue)

Also, any other information that could help with reproducing the bug is greatly appreciated.

I'm on X11.

Somehow, I can't trigger desktop grid whenever a mpv instance is in full screen (I don't know if I have tried this before), even if I'm on a different desktop. And, I have no title bar on my window decoration. But I think that it was not on full screen, I usually don't watch with mpv in full screen. Tried Firefox and Gwenview in full screen, but I can still view the desktop grid but no occurrence of the bug.

Additionally, I have not encountered the bug since I posted this.
