This (or something very similar) has actually happened to me as well. I could get it to reproduce on any PDF (but only with PDF files), and it would happen when I switched to another desktop workspace and then back to the one where KOReader was... the PDF content would appear for a brief moment before disappearing, and then would stay blank until the application was restarted. (Application menus/UI would appear, though.)

Here's where it started getting weird: I'm pretty sure it would only happen if I switched workspaces using keyboard shortcuts, as opposed to clicking the desktop pager, so I wasn't sure if it was specific to my switching shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+J/K). Also, I think it may have only reproduced while switching workspaces in one of the two directions (prev/next workspace), so either only Ctrl+Alt+J or Ctrl+Alt+K. Finally, I'm pretty sure I saw the issue reproduce on both XFCE and KDE, as I've used similar layouts/workflows on both DEs.

The circumstances were so bizarre and specific that I felt I should try to diagnose the problem better before opening a Github issue. I haven't opened a PDF on amd64 KOReader in some time, but when I try now I'm having trouble making the issue reproduce (2022.07 on KDE).

I can let you know if I see it happen again...
Thanks for adding your case in my topic. I use super ctrl h/j/k/l to change desktop and wayfire as wayland compositor (https://github.com/WayfireWm/wayfire).
