Comment 2 Matt 2023-12-31 11:31:52 UTC
Apparently it is an issue in the wobbly window desktop effect. Disabling wobbly windows and the issue stops. Still only happens on a vertical orientation monitor

What is the version/commit where this is fixed? I can still reproduce in kwin-wayland's Neon build git20240109.1028 ( 58a2a3cf8141f02f53cac241724227f5e53c2367 ). There are no further updates currently in Neon builds due to a cmake configuration issue in kcm_auroraedecoration.
