Description Martmists 2020-02-26 11:56:39 UTC 
SUMMARY
Blur effect is affected by transparency setting instead of keeping the blur constant when the transparency changes.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set window transparency focused to 90%, unfocused to 30%
2. Enable Blur
3. Switch between enabled/disabled states

OBSERVED RESULT
The window blur practically disappears as it goes unfocused

EXPECTED RESULT
The blur effect stays as the window goes unfocused

Comment 1 Vlad Zahorodnii 2020-03-19 09:17:25 UTC 
This is intentional. If the window goes transparent, then nothing should be blurred behind it.
