Been doing testing and i think what might be happening is the window below is
randomly getting input such as mouse clicks (the desktop?), leading to kwin
mistakenly thinking you clicked something else, and therefor stopping you from
inputing text. Meanwhile kwin renders the last thing the window was showing,
leading to the still content seen. 

This surface glitching seems to happen most often with Firefox in Xwayland. In
my experience when it happens, dialogs will open but not show, but if you use
kwin's present window hotcorner you can see that it did infact open and that
it's artifacted and invisble.

Interestingly i just had the surface glitching happen randomly when downloading
a file. The dialog opened, but it was artifacted and almost fully invisible,
yet i could still click on it's titlebar.

As a matter of fact, i know extremely similar behavior to this can be
reproduced easily if you open Firefox with it's Wayland backend enabled. You
will not only see tons of artfacting and misplaced UI elements should you move
it or interact with it, but you will also find that some of your clicks are not
registered and that windows below it are clipped up through it, giving you a
mangled mess.
