Bug ID: 489686
Summary: After using touch for a while, it seems to permanently
break with what window to send the touch to
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Every hour or so after using touch for a while, it seems to permanently break
with what window to send the touch to. This sadly affects even the plasma
bottom bar, so that it becomes nearly impossible to do anything and it's pretty
close in effect to the touch screen being plain dead. A video of this effect is
attached. I've been using KDE for months at this point with a mouse and never
saw this happening, so that suggests to me that it's likely to be a
touch-related issue. This device doesn't have a mouse attached, hence I'm using
touch input a lot.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up KDE Plasma 6 and use touch heavily. May require no hardware mouse to
be attached, not sure about that.
2. At some point it breaks, I wish I knew how or when.
OBSERVED RESULT
See video, all the touches seem to go to wrong windows and the bottom bar
usually becomes dead too and it's chaos. The only workaround I've found is
logging out and logging back in, which fixes it.
EXPECTED RESULT
Touch keeps working
