Yeah, I've noticed... Is strange that this problem affects users from
differents ways? I mean... One user reported
(https://forum.manjaro.org/t/kde-plasma-freeze-when-i-use-screen-edges-kwin-hang-regression/88897/31?u=fvguilherme)
that simple install kwin-lowlatency from AUR instead of kwin has solved the
problem.

and yes, I've noticed a little horizontal tearing. I choose keep the freeze.
