Created attachment 872427 [details] 'task bar' leaves ghost as evident by the ability to 'right-click' desktop and get application menu plasma 5 desktop (leap 15.5 dup from 15.4) 'task manager' panel set to 'auto hide' leaves an exact 'ghost' of itself on desktop when it 'hides'. toggling compositor or scrolling (switching) desktops is the Only way to 'repaint' the affected area (get rid of it). this is beyond annoying. it was a problem with the first plasma 5 opensuse released with wayland. - - - Linux/KDE Plasma: openSuSE Leap 15.5 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Processor: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz Graphics Driver: Mesa (i believe, as that's all that's offered) Kernel vers: 5.14.21-150500.55.44-default (64-bit) Graphics platform: X11

this is Not 'fixed'. not having thumbnails ia a huge disappointment. 'for shown windows' does not work. this seems to be a issue with your trying to make things work with wayland.
