Window Size Shrinks Over Time In Testing

I am experiencing an odd behavior in KDE in testing.  It has been this 
way for me since the KDE 6 transition, but initially thought it was 
probably just some incompatibility with the transition.  However, now 
that we are getting ready for the packages that will ship with trixie, 
I figured I would bring it up to see if anyone else is experiencing 
it.

The symptoms are that my maximized windows shrink slightly over time, 
ending up being a few pixals smaller than full-screen on the right and 
bottom.  It appears to happen when when switching between virtual 
desktops, but not consistently (meaning not every time I switch 
virtual desktops).  It happens frequently enough that I need to redo 
the maximization of at least one window about every hour.  When doing 
so, the window thinks it is still maximized, but if I click the button 
to restore (unmaximize) the window and then click the button to 
remaximize it, the window returns to the correct, fully-maximized 
size.

A few specifics about my setup that might be applicable.

1.  I am using X11.
2.  I am using a 4K monitor with 175% scaling.
3.  I have a panel on both the bottom and the right of the screen.  
These are the two edges maximized windows march away from over time.
