This is getting fascinatingly strange!
I restarted into a Plasma/Wayland session, then launched Frescobaldi. As
before, the main window behaves properly.
Viewer windows, launched from the Tools/Viewers menu, cannot now be
moved. They do, however, have sizing handles at the edges, BUT: the
right side and the bottom handles work as expected, but the top and left
edge handles move the opposite edge. Grabbing the left handle moves the
right side; grabbing the top moves the bottom edge.
It seems that the only way I can get viewers into position is to move
the main window to where I want the viewer, then launch and fiddle with
the viewer.
It seems clear that Frescobaldi is caught up in the issues coming from
KDE/Qt6/Wayland, which have not yet. AFAICT, been resolved.
At any rate, Frescobaldi has been for many years, and still is for me,
the only way to work with Lilypond. Well done to the developers!

That sounds rather similar, Knute, but not exactly so.
My main window (the code viewer) is fine: has all the sizing controls,
and I can shrink/expand by grabbing handles on the edges.
Any other viewers, launched from the View menu, behave as in
Federico's report: the only possible change of size is by dragging the
top edge upwards, very carefully. No handles are found on the bottom
or sides.
Another difference is that I'm running under X11: I use another
program which is unusable under Wayland, so I just forced my DM to
X11on a login some while ago.
HTH,
