In kde plasma 5.8 the super/win key is also used to trigger the launcher, when pressed and released without combining it with another key. To disable the feature, put
[ModifierOnlyShortcuts]
Meta=
in ~/.config/kwinrc.

3Addition: configuration should be reloaded after that. To reload configuration, run
kwin_x11 --replaceor just log out and log in. – Sasha – 2018-11-10T10:52:20.8604Addition:
kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta ""command can be used instead of editing the config file manually. – Sasha – 2018-11-10T10:53:11.610
