Artefacts when opening a panel popup over Konsole

SUMMARY
I can see some weird artefacts with the blur effect when some element is over a blurred region. The artefact is like showing the outline of the redrawn portions. It can be more clear if you watch the attached videos.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an application which has background blur enabled (for example Konsole with blur background).
2. Move the window closer to the panel & open any panel item. Then you can see the weird artefacts.
3. This can also be tested using the "Mouse Mark" desktop effect. Just draw over a blurred region.

OBSERVED RESULT
Weird artefacts are seen.

EXPECTED RESULT
No artefacts should be there.
