SUMMARY
Demonstrative video: https://youtu.be/Bfpxb_C03KE
If I use "Map to Portion" option for a tablet, reduce the mapped area and then tap outside of it once, it leaves the tablet in an unresponsive state. libinput is able to detect the input but kwin is not until the tablet is replugged.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to the Drawing Tablet KCM
2. Select "Map to Portion"
3. Reduce the size of the area on the tablet and Apply
4. Tap once outside of the mapped area with a stylus

OBSERVED RESULT
Kwin no longer accepts input from the tablet

EXPECTED RESULT
The tablet should continue to function as normal
