SUMMARY

I use Screen Edges assigned to Present Current Window (left upper) and GRID (right upper) window presentation 
Occasionaly, but rather frequently,  the action of moving mouse to the corner stops producing result.
I did not distinguish the pattern of how reliably reproduce it, but it happens usually after some windows  are opened/moved/closed.   Sometimes it happens like every 10 minutes with my work flow

What cures the freeze is opening System Settings Window, and just closing it immediately without doing anything inside (by pressing window close buttom in the corner).  

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.   Do usual work, opening, closing, moving windows 
2.   Observe that Screen Edges become inactive, moving mouth to the corner does nothing.
3.   Open and closing System Settings restores functionality

OBSERVED RESULT

Screen Edges inactive 

EXPECTED RESULT

Expect continuing work of Present Current Window and Grid effects work via Screen Edges assignment

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.2.5 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27. (LTS), and 6.3 (non-LTS) or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 6.2.5, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
