  Summary:
  
  Kwin is showing the following anomalies. These are not constant, but
  occur frequently (10-20 times) per day. They all appear to be associated
  with a scaling issue, so I have grouped them here. I will work to
  provide a better guide to reproduce as I find out more.  Driver package
  is nvidia-driver-470.
  
  1. When moving windows, the window will not move with the cursor but will 
continue to move the window further downwards on the screen even as the cursor 
is pushed further up. In fact, the speed at which a window moves down appears 
proportional to the upward movement of the cursor.
  2. Windows that are moved as in (1) will often "slide off screen" and are 
inaccessible using the cursor although they still exist in the panel. Windows 
include IntelliJ Pro, Google Chrome, Konsole.
  3. Windows that have been tiled (e.g. press meta + arrow key) when moved by 
dragging the title bar, will vertically collapse to only the height of the 
title bar. After dropping this title bar, one cannot select or move it again 
from the screen. Windows include IntelliJ Pro, Google Chrome, Konsole
  4. Windows spawned by dragging a tab from one window onto an empty space 
(e.g. dragging a tab from a firefox browser or konsole session onto an empty 
space on the desktop) are placed badly - usually far away from the intended 
location, and sometimes off-screen as in (2).
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  - Run Jammy with multiple 4K monitors attached. I've tried this with a high 
font DPI setting (System Settings > Fonts > Force DPI = 144) and fractional 
scaling (System Settings > Displays > Global Scale = 150%). These symptoms 
occur in either setting. I have not confirmed if this works without either.
  - Launch an app such as konsole or google-chrome (the latter seems highly 
susceptible).
  - Tile and drag windows. This results in issues (1), (2), and (3), above.
  - Drag a tab from konsole or firefox into an empty space. The window will be 
placed incorrectly even if the area dragged to is completely open.
  
  Potential Solutions:
  This appears may be a flaw with cursor position scaling in Kwin. In contrast, 
this bug does NOT exist in the prior KDE LTS found in Kubuntu 20.04.4.
  
  TODO:
  - Test on Intel-X11
  - Test on Wayland once it becomes workable on Nvidia hardware
