Using keyboard shortcuts to switch virtual desktops makes windows unresponsive and unfocusable.

Description
Switching virtual desktops via keyboard shortcuts causes windows on the previous desktop to stop responding to user input.
Currently, this bug appears on X11, but I will update this issue once I test Wayland.
Steps to reproduce:
- Have two virtual desktops, bind some keyboard shortcut to each one
(I'm using ALT+1 and ALT+2) - Open two windows on the first desktop. Make sure they tile.
- Hit ALT+2 to switch to the second virtual desktop. The bug is inconsistent; if you see the windows stretch vertically right before the desktop switches, then they'll be bugged.
- Switch back to desktop 1.
Expected results:
You can interact with the two windows after switching back to their virtual desktop.
Observed results:
Neither window is focusable, nor can they be moved. The only way I've found to fix them is to drag their thumbnails around in the virtual desktop indicator.
This does not happen on Wayland AFAICT. I use 9 virtual desktops and switch between them all the time, never had this happen to me even once.

I had switched to krohnkite some time ago, and even then the loss of window focus is an issue, albeit less frequent. I think this might be an issue with how kwin interfaces with X11.
