Is there a way to revert back to Plasma 5.27?

I don't think #Plasma6 is ready for prime time. When I open apps, the title bar goes above the screen space and I can't move or close the app or use the menus.

As a workaround, in plasma you can move a window by grabbing anywhere with the mouse if you just hold super or alt first - depending on how you have it configured. Same for resizing using the right mouse button. I never rely on borders or title bars for these things.

  That does move the window around, but resizing the window with the mouse does not work. So, I can move the window around, but I can't resize the window so it is between the panel bars.
  
  you need to drag it with the other mouse button to resize it - not working?

When I open apps, the title bar goes above the screen space and I can't move or close the app or use the menus.
Please report the bug.

Yes. There is, but it depends on the distro and can be time consuming.
\ For example with Arch Linux read Downgrading packages and consider tools like downgrade.
- Or disable the -testing repos and reinstall the offending packages. It's in extra-testing and kde-unstable, with the latter being 2 revisions newer than extra-testing. So clearly they're fixing some issues.

I would never upgrade without doing a backup of my system so I could revert back. I assume you did not do this?

  Did not...I trusted the KDE people.
  My mistake.
  
  What distro are you on? Some do automatic snapshots during upgrades

Can't you right click => maximize on the task in taskbar? Or meta + page up on keyboard
- @SigHunter
  Yes, but I don't want to use the app maximized, when I hit the resize button, the app goes off the screen.
  
  When you hold meta (windows key) on keyboard and click anywhere in the window and hold mouse button, you can move the window around
