Bug ID: 450280
Summary: Compositor (probably) causes steam proton game to
freeze when switching windows
Product: kwin
Version: 5.24.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: compositing

Target Milestone: ---
Hello
I came to the conclusion that this is a Kwin bug because I have tried
reproducing it in XFCE and I was not able to. Apologies if that is not the
case.
SUMMARY
When playing the game Final Fantasy 14 on steam (tested with steam proton and
proton-GE-custom) and switching windows, the app freezes and the only way to
exit out of it is killing the process.
This happens only in full screen and border less window modes. It does not
occur on windowed mode.
This is probably the same bug as in #415286. But it seems that the workaround
for window thumbnails does not work anymore.
Using virtual desktops to change windows seemed to produce the same issue, I do
not think it is a problem related to the task switcher but rather to the window
focus.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Final fantasy 14 on steam with the latest version of proton
2. Alt+Tab (It might not happen from the first time but keep pressing and it
will happen)
OBSERVED RESULT
App freeze.
EXPECTED RESULT
Switching between apps.
