Shot in the dark: sometimes this can happen when a dialog window pops up that takes keyboard focus and won't release it, but the window manager has placed the window somewhere strange (e.g. behind the main window, or minimized, or off the screen, etc.) Next time you see it, try hitting escape or enter to see if it closes a dialog.

Or: try your window manager shortcut for "present windows". In Kubuntu, mine is meta-W. This usually shows all windows, visible and minimized, in a stack of some kind. You could also try alt-tab to cycle through. It will depend on whether the window manager is grouping all windows from the same application in the stack of windows, though, so you might need to tweak settings for this technique to be useful.

If you see a dialog window, you can then try to switch to it, move it, close it, figure out how to make it not appear invisibly, etc.

Just a guess; might have nothing to do with your issue. :-)
