Same issue here -- it appeared exactly when I had upgraded to
both Plasma 5.5.0 and KDE frameworks 5.17 on Dec 17, 2015.
The problem was not fixed by any F22 updates until Jan 3, 2016.

The bug is 100% reproducible on my system:
- First konsole opened is broken exactly as described by Roderick.
I should add that this konsole window is not responsive
to keyboard input either.
- Second konsole opened works just fine
- Third konsole opened works just fine
- After closing all konsole instances, the first konsole opened again has
the problem
Behavior is exactly the same regardless of whether I start konsole
from the kickoff menu, the launcher, or from a shortcut on the panel.
This is on a laptop with LVDS and external monitor (intel + nouveau
drivers),
but I doubt the presence of the external monitor is "triggering" the
problem
(I haven't tried LVDS only).
I can't reproduce the problem on a single monitor up-to-date F23, so plasma
5.5.1 (but I'm not using the default Breeze-based set of themes), using OpenGL
3.1/GLX for the compositor.
I would suggest to play with the configuration, at least try with the single
monitor.
