Summary: [KWin X11] Shaded window cannot be unshaded after
moving — only workaround is resizing

Description:
I’m using KDE Plasma 6 on X11. I regularly use the “shade/unshade” window
feature via mouse wheel on window titlebars. This feature is extremely useful
to keep windows in place and out of the way without minimizing them.
Since upgrading to Plasma 6, I’ve encountered the following issue:
A window is shaded via mouse wheel (or right-click > Shade).
If I move the shaded window by dragging it, it becomes impossible to
unshade it normally.
The mouse wheel, right-click menu, and keyboard shortcut all fail to
unshade the window after it has been moved.
Only workaround: resizing the window manually, which forces it to redraw
and restores its normal state.
This is a regression compared to Plasma 5, where the behavior worked as
expected.
This functionality may be considered "niche", but it's a long-standing and
powerful feature for advanced window management. It would be great to see it
maintained and fully functional under Plasma 6.
Steps to reproduce:
Shade a window.
Move the shaded window.
Attempt to unshade — it fails.
Resize the window — it unshades.
Expected behavior:
Shaded windows should be unshadable regardless of being moved.
