Bug Description

I wanted to report this because it might be of some help to someone.

My X server is a headless X server running TigerVNC.

As part of my hardware migration to Apple Silicon, I am now running Arm64 Ubuntu 23.04 in a VM. I had to install the Kubuntu packages using "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" as there is no official arm distribution of Kubuntu. My previous x86 VM did not exhibit these issues.

I first noticed with hamster time tracker that if I move the window, the buttons in the window could be become non functional. I reproduced the issue with Firefox.

Playing around with it some more, I noticed that moving the window causes the buttons hover over to not match the button location on screen.

I chose to report this on plasmashell because I can make small movements and resizes without apparent ill effect. Dragging the window the left hand corner where there is a snap action makes the bug appear every time.

I am a long time developer and can run any troubleshooting information needed.

I cannot support Lunar, if at all possible can you update to a supported release? Or Jammy would work.
