SUMMARY After updating to KDE Plasma 6.2, started experiencing tearing and lagginess issues when moving/dragging windows around. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Drag a window diagonally (any angle should reproduce the problem). OBSERVED RESULT Window tears and doesn't move smoothly (with a low framerate). EXPECTED RESULT Same or similar smoothnes than when windows are dragged strictly vertically/horizontally SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Linux 6.11.3-zen1-1-zen KDE Plasma Version: 6.2 Qt Version: 6.7.3-2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION using wayland using optimus manager to only use dedicated gpu (nvidia) nvidia-drm module loaded and parameters active nvidia module loaded and EnableGpuFirmware=0 Reproduced with a laptop + 2 external monitors setup. Never reproduced in laptop screen. For the external monitors, sometimes happens on both, sometimes happens in only one.
Confirmed, the same thing happens to me with an nvidia graphics card as well. The problem disappears if I have any window maximized on a virtual desktop, if I move another window over the maximized one everything works smoothly.

The problem is specifically slowness when moving windows diagonally or shaking the mouse when it becomes big (also diagonally). Current version is 6.2.0-2 so I am not sure if it is actually related to 494547 and the problem is that arch does not have that update yet, but nothing changed from 6.2.0-1
