Description
### Kernel
Linux 7.0.5-2-cachyos
### Desktop Environment / Window Manager
KDE Plasma
### CPU
Intel i5 1335U
### GPU / Driver
Intel Iris Xe
### Description
Hello, I encountered a bug where my mouse cursor can move, but completely loses the ability to click anything after folding my laptop into tablet mode and returning it to normal mode.
The hardware sensor is detected correctly by the kernel (dmesg shows Lenovo Yoga Tablet Mode Control switch), but KWin seems to fail at restoring the click focus. Returning from tablet mode also throws some DRM/Atomic modeset Permission denied errors in the journal.
Currently, restarting the laptop or restarting plasma-kwin_wayland.service is the only way to temporarily fix the issue.
System Information:
Host: Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14IRU8
OS: CachyOS x86_64
Kernel: Linux 7.0.5-2-cachyos
DE: KDE Plasma 6.6.4
WM: KWin (Wayland)
Logs:
A complete hardware report, dmesg, and journalctl (showing the KWin errors during transition) have been uploaded here:

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Log in to KDE Plasma (Wayland session).
2. Fold the laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5) into tablet mode.
3. Unfold the laptop back to normal laptop mode.
4. Move the cursor using the touchpad and attempt to click on anything.
### Expected Behavior
The mouse cursor should retain click focus, and touchpad clicks should register normally after returning from tablet mode.
### Actual Behavior
The mouse cursor can still be moved, but all click inputs are completely ignored. It becomes impossible to interact with any UI elements using the touchpad or mouse clicks. Restarting the system or restarting `plasma-kwin_wayland.service` is required to restore click functionality.
### Logs / Error Messages
The hardware sensor is correctly detected by the kernel, meaning the event is fired, but KWin Wayland silently fails to restore the click focus.
Relevant dmesg log:
[ 5.138921] input: Lenovo Yoga Tablet Mode Control switch as /devices/platform/PNP0C14:05/wmi_bus/wmi_bus-PNP0C14:05/06129D99-6083-4164-81AD-F092F9D773A6-16/input/input14
There are no KWin crash logs in journalctl during the transition, confirming this is a silent focus management bug rather than a compositor crash.
