Issue is tracked here,

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1208229
and (ubuntu reference)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-desktop/+bug/1437260

Seems indeed to only affect nvidia users (so far)

I don't see any upstream (bugs.kde.org) bugs yet, probably not a bad idea to 
file one.
