I was just about to report this bug (see my entry in KDE Discuss,
https://discuss.kde.org/t/3-finger-gestures-on-touchscreen-bug/15956), but
found that this is exactly the bug I'm experiencing to a T.
SUMMARY
I’ve found a bug that I can easily replicate on my laptop that flummoxes me:
When using 3-finger swipes to switch desktops or open overview on my
touchscreen, edit mode is entered (initially) and subsequent attempts to use
3-fingered gestures cause a selection rectangle to be opened on my desktop
(wherever the mouse is positioned).
Note that this is NOT an issue with touchpad gestures (flawless), just my
touchscreen.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use 3-finger gestures on the touchscreen → forcibly enter edit mode.
2. Exit edit mode, try to use gestures again → edit mode this time is not
entered, but a selection rectangle is permanently shown on the desktop which
follows the mouse (even without pressing either mouse button).
- Notably, once this selection rectangle is present, 3-finger gestures on
the touchscreen are flawless.
3. The only way to remove this selection rectangle is to either log out or to
use the selection rectangle to actually select something on the desktop. This
does remove it, however…
4. Once the selection rectangle is removed, using 3-finger gestures on the
touchscreen begins step #1 all over again.
OBSERVED RESULT
- 3-finger gestures on touchscreen cause edit mode and a persistent selection
box that follows the mouse.
EXPECTED RESULT
- (Only) switch virtual desktops, open overview/grid view.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
At least one other user has been able to replicate this problem
(https://discuss.kde.org/t/3-finger-gestures-on-touchscreen-bug/15956). Notably
both instances are using Lenovo touchscreen laptops.
I am additionally using 150% fractional scaling, but I suspect this is
irrelevant.
