When having blur enabled in Konsole or in for example Dolphin (when using the "Lightly" Application Style) the blur briefly becomes transparent when the animation for maximizing begins and ends. When disabling the Maximize/Restore desktop effect it still happens, but it's much, much less noticeable (it's like only a frame or so).

(Also, sorry if I chose the wrong "Component")

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  In Konsole enable the transparency and blur effect.
2.  Maximize/Restore Konsole.

OBSERVED RESULT
Blur becomes transparent on the start and end of the maximize/restore animation.

EXPECTED RESULT
Blur should not get transparent while Maximizing/Restoring.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have also tried this in X11 but it's even worse... The blur does not resize when maximizing Konsole, and so there is a box in the top left that is blurred, and the rest in transparent.

Also, I am not sure how old this bug is, as I noticed this bug when I started using the transparency/blur effect in Konsole just recently.
