Isn’t this the same as upstream bug report [1] ?

Here’s a build with the fix backported on top of kwin from unstable for your to try. [2]

[1] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501457
[2] https://people.debian.org/~coucouf/kwin_6.3.5-2~pre1/

Of course you should never trust random people from the internet telling you to install packages.
So you should check that the changes file is signed with my key from the debian keyring :
    gpgv --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp kwin_6.3.5-2~pre1_amd64.changes
and that the checksums of the deb files match what’s listed in the changes file.


Happy hacking,
