From that the space only increments and doesn't decrease. Hardware Specs : 1. Intel core-i5 6300 HQ 2. Nvidia GTX 960M Software Specs : 1. Kubuntu 18.04 2. KDE Plasma shell version 5.12.7 Something interesting to note is that I have not experienced the same behavior from Xorg when I switch the GPU to Intel's Integrated graphics. It is entirely possible that I might not have been able to trigger those situation with Intel, because after seeing logs I couldn't make out why this was happening. Also for the timeline I have used the system for over an year without any such issue arising. It was the second week of June 2019 to present day I have seen this problem.
