Screencast of the right-edge of my desktop, demonstrating the window sizing/positioning issue

SUMMARY

All windows (and even dropdown menus) that open are about 5px wide (total) and arranged at the very-right edge of my monitor. This happens with ANY window, including dropdown menus when opened.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update to KDE Frameworks 6.2.0
2. Reboot
3. Open any window which does not have a "Rule" set that already defines its initial position/sizing

OBSERVED RESULT

Windows open on the very right-edge of the desktop, being only about 5px wide.

EXPECTED RESULT

Windows open as usual, with respect to sizing and positioning.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0
Kernel Version: 6.8.9-arch1-2 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11 (happens in Wayland as well)
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2 (Driver 550.78)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I am attaching a screengrab video of the issue as well. Note that the video has been edited to show the right edge of my desktop, with extra black space on the right to demonstrate the very thin window size when it opens.

In this video, I am attempting to open KWrite by using KRunner. The KRunner window opens on the very right edge (it used to be top-center) and is only about 5px wide. I then drag it into the viewport and resize it. After that, I open KWrite, and you'll see its window also opens up on the very right edge.

Below are the following packages related to KDE that I upgraded, and upon rebooting, the issue arises.

I have filtered the pacman log above to show the relevant packages that I had upgraded immediately before noticing this issue. I know they are likely KDE Frameworks packages, and I've opened this ticket under Kwin, so please triage/move this if necessary. I did not update any NVidia drivers, and am currently on 550.78.

It's my first time opening a bug as I've always had a great experience with Plasma, but this issue is definitely quite major in my eyes.

Thank you!

Closing this report because I was able to determine that the issue was related to an update of conky which occurred at the same time the KDE Frameworks 6.2.0 updates were installed. My apologies.
