KDE Plasma 6.1.4 Desktop Released with Various Improvements and Bug Fixes
KDE Plasma 6.1.4 is here three weeks after KDE Plasma 6.1.3 and improves the smoothness of resizing Plasma widgets, updates textual-list-style group pop-up of Plasma’s Task Manager to scale properly, and refines how KRunner matches text to System Settings pages to be less aggressive about showing them to users for searches with a very weak match.
This release also improves the KWin window and composite manager to no longer place windows with the titlebar cut off on top when opening windows whose minimum height is still taller than the screen. KWin will now ensure the window’s titlebar is visible to allow users to move it around.

Plasma Desktop 6.1.4 Release Includes Improveme... » Linux Magazine
It was only three ago that Plasma Desktop 6.1.3 was released, which is a very fast turnaround for a desktop environment release (even though it's just a point release), but here we are.
The developers of the Plasma Desktop have released their latest iteration that adds several improvements and fixes.
On top of the list of improvements is a fix for Plasma Widget resizing to make the animation much smoother. Along the same lines, the developers have managed to make the pop-ups from the Task Manager to better scale.
There have been a lot of fixes to the KWin Window Manager, such as a fix for X11 windows being stuck in should_get_focus, a fix for checking whether GraphicsBufferView is nill, keeping the title bar in the screen when open windows are too tall and would normally place it above the display, and several others fixes.
