This image shows the taskbar's "window preview" being displayed upside-down.

The issue is that the preview/peek window is mirrored upside-down.
Notice the Discover icon.

Interestingly, the thumbnails are not upside down in the Alt+Tab window switcher.

Perhaps a software rendering issue?

I have the same problem when recording videos with Spectacle, so the problem is most likely in KPipeWire
Comment 4 Fernando M. Muniz 2024-01-15 08:15:02 UTC 
This issue persists on version 5.92.0

I've noticed that it's actually both mirrored and upside-down, instead of just one of them.

No, that's my commit, it's for a different issue :) This one I don't know how to fix yet.
Comment 8 Nate Graham 2024-01-18 00:27:56 UTC 
Oops, sorry.
Comment 9 Ilya Bizyaev 2024-01-25 11:08:44 UTC 
This somehow got fixed with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5037 for me. My guess is that NVIDIA supports `DRM_FORMAT_RGBA8888` while other GPUs don't, which is the format KWin was trying to set on the window captures whenever supported, but it was incorrectly flipped somewhere along the way.
