> Yes, resizing the "kcmshell4 kwincompositing", "all effects" KPluginSelector with large scrollbar sizes (bespin/position indicator/32px; oxygen was often sufficient with the default size) after commit e91e5fed6b1aad365e12e919f430c3e8147552d3 (see https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/103165/ ) was a reliable way to trigger the issue for me.
