Hi all,
Installed Leap 42.1 yesterday, now after about 5 minutes I lose my window decorations (i.e. minimise, maximise buttons).
Is this a known problem with a fix, as am thinking of going back to 13.2.
Thanks.

No.
But it seems kwin (the window manager) is crashing.
Most likely a graphics driver problem.
What card/driver are you using?
What does “glxinfo | grep render” say? (you might have to install the package Mesa-demo-x first to get any output)
Does it help if you disable compositing (desktop effects)? You can do so by pressing Shift+Alt+F12, to disable it permanently use “Configure Desktop” (systemsettings5)->Display and Monitor->Compositor.
When the window decorations disappear, you should be able to get them back by running kwin_x11 manually in KRunner or Konsole.
Maybe this would also give some interesting output when it crashes again.
Hi wolfi323,
I assumed it was graphics related, plus me upgrading from 13.2 & keeping my home dir (uncertain if that made any difference).
So did a fresh install (after backing up my home dir) & the window decorations have remained in place (so far)
I use an nvidia gtx 280, but haven’t had any issues since the fresh install.
Thanks.
This issue has popped up several times over the last few years on my systems:

One thing I’ve noticed with the latest 13.2 Desktop and AMD CPU’s and Graphic components, is that KDE/Plasma Compositing Type seems to be happier with OpenGL 2.0 – 13.1 was quite happy with OpenGL 3.x . . .
And, I’ve just now noticed an issue with the Forum software – in the editor with each successive indent the indented bullets change as expected – in the preview they don’t . . .
