This is certainly not our fault, I don't know what advice give you here :/

This is a known behavior in KWin (what manages these things), the weird thing 
is that it did not happen to you before because it has been happening since 
forever.
Check if there is a bug open in http://bugs.kde.org, if not fill a new one.

Point 2 is a known thing, we are working to make it better.
Point 3 I don't understand :/
