STEPS TO REPRODUCE

    Start a KDE Plasma Wayland session

    Open multiple applications on a desktop

    Trigger the Overview effect (via hotkey or gesture)

OBSERVED RESULT

    Windows do not display their previews in Overview mode

    Previews only appear when a window is clicked and held with the mouse

    When the mouse button is released, the preview disappears again

EXPECTED RESULT

All open windows should display their previews correctly when Overview is activated, without needing to click or hold them.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

    Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux

    KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3

    KDE Frameworks Version: kded6 6.16.0

    Qt Version: QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.15.17 in /usr/lib

    Graphics Platform: Wayland

    GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080

    Drivers: nvidia-dkms (latest from Arch repos)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Using Wayland session with proprietary NVIDIA drivers

Not a deal-breaker, but persistent and reproducible

No crash, just incorrect rendering in Overview effect

I'm not able to reproduce this on git-master
Frameworks 6.18.0
Qt 6.9.1

Also not with Plasma 6.4.3
KF 6.16.0
Qt 6.9.1

This looks like the same symptom as bug 450252. Vlad said this would be a QtQuick bug.

I noticed you mentioned
> Using Qt version 5.15.17 in /usr/lib

I recommend updating Qt and seeing if you can still reproduce this. If so, please set this back to REPORTED. Thanks.
