It seems , somewhat similar in behavior to xfce4-windowck-plugin.
I tested mine in a bit of a hurry , using the xfwm window manager , with the same results you mention , so i don't ...

@KBD I'm sure you'll enjoy it . Oh , don't forget , although i'm sure you have already , to add the kubuntu-backports repository , so you can follow plasma updates.

Best Regards

@KBD One thing i forgot to mention and had another look at . Debian's Plasma version is 5.8 . I wish they would allow at least the newest LTS Plasma (5.12.0) , because there are aeons of distance between the two versions , in stabillity and features .

@ JBoman Sir if, by screen spaz out , you mean that you get flickering and/or tearing ,plus incosistent scrolling in firefox , why not try switching the compositor settings from open gl to xrender and see if it makes any difference .
