I just found a way to reproduce the problem. All I need to do is use 
"KDE daemon" shortcuts. Like Ctrl+Alt+K to switch keyboard layout. If I 
use the shortcut repeatedly, after about 10 to 20 times, the bug triggers.

Since I don't use shortcuts all the time, it could take over an hour to 
trigger this normally. If I spam the shortcuts, the bug triggers right away.
