I'm experienced that but isn't too frequent,  in my  use case:

- kde with 12 virtual desktops in a vertical pager (and the free radeon 
driver for desktop effects)
- I switch with ctrl-F{1-6} between the first 6 desktops frequently
- use the pager for the remaining and less used desktops
- the problem in my use case happens in 2 to 5 days of uptime ( so I 
cannot get a proper test case to open a bug report)
- when It happens I click one virtual desktop and no switch between 
desktops occurs or some windows are moved from a virtual desktop to 
another or to all desktops

and I not see at the present because I changed from clicking in the 
pager to:

- using the keyboard to select the first 6 desktops
- clicking in  the task manager sometimes using 2 click when the apps 
have more than one window to select it
- using a desktop effect swiitcher  a keyboard shortcut to activate it 
and F## to select it
