I attempted to draw a diagram of what’s happening. The blue line represents the display boundary. The red arrow shows the path of my cursor trying to get to the X to close the lefthand window, and getting stuck on the border of the righthand display as I zero in on it. The drawing of the motion is exaggerated for effect.
How do you “switch back to X11?”
You select it at your login screen. Click the entry on the lower left of the screen to bring up the options available.
But that is my logout screen, I get to it by clicking:
Found something else interesting; here’s my login screen settings:
Look what happens when I check “auto login” and try to choose another option…
It’s my only option…
Sorry about that.
You will need to install whatever package your distro provides to add the session.
plasma-session-x11 or something like that.

Thank you! I typed yay plasma x11 and it found plasma-x11-session, installed it, and no more sticky edges!
I don’t know whether to be relieved or flabbergasted that this is a thing we have to do after all the complaints still floating around about Wayland. It’s an odd feeling of relief and frustration.
Because the other reason I wanted to do this is NONE of the screen recorders I tried would work anymore… and now they do, after switching to X11…
I also am having @Domarius ‘s issue on KDE 6.5.3 on Wayland (Bazzite 43).
If there’s another setting I need to disable or any more information I can provide please let me know.
In an addendum to my previous post, it only seems to affect my mouse.
I use two input devices, a Apple Magic Trackpad for normal usage, and a Logitech mouse for gaming. Despite disabling both Corner barrier and the Edge barrier, when I move my cursor around with the Logitech mouse, it still binds on the corners of the monitors, much to the annoyance previously discussed.
However, when I move my mouse cursor with my Apple Trackpad, it works as expected, with no sticky corners or the cursor getting caught on the edges.
This is an annoying bug and should be fixed as it’s causing regressions on most people’s installations. The people that need this feature can go and enable it manually. I just recently upgraded my Plasma to use wayland and the experience has not been great so far. Not as bad as some people were making it be either. Wayland might be ready for production in the coming years given the slow but steady improvement.
KDE is not a company, devs are not paid. KDE is a community of volunteers with porous woolly edges that allows anyone to contribute. If you see something you think needs changing, the best thing you can do is go here:
