Bug ID: 379027
Summary: can’t resize or move windows, copy&paste does not work
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: i...@az2000.de
Target Milestone: ---
Ubuntu 16.04, KDE 5.5.5.
You cannot move windows around nor resize them. Changing the focus and setting
one windows to the front still works.
Also copy&paste does not work anymore.
This condition sometimes happens (maybe once in a month or so).
This very much describes the problem and provides a working solution for me:

Note that the report is from 2005! And still people commenting on it (2017)
that this works for them.
Basically, what (temporarily) solved the problem for me was:
killall kwin_x11
kwrapper5 kwin_x11 --replace
