SUMMARY
There are visual glitches when using konsole with transparency and blur enabled
when there is a window updating it's contents constantly and there's at least
one window between konsole and the updating window.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open program that actively repaints it's screen (e.g. audacious while playing, warframe launcher)
2. open some other program (e.g. dolphin, system settings) and position it over the program as described in 1)
3. open konsole with enabled transparency and blur

OBSERVED RESULT
Konsole will display rectangles and glitch in the areas which are updated in the program opened under 1)

EXPECTED RESULT
Konsole doesn't render updates happening in culled windows

I use plasma 5.22.2 (kde neon, amd), and the bug still happens. I also have this on my laptop (intel) with kubuntu (plasma 5.18.5)

I saw a similar bug with popups of systray icons on Wayland session of Plasma 5.24.2 two days ago on Arch Linux. I use intel iGPU.

the bug with Yakuake

With Yakuake (blur+transparency enabled), this bug can also be triggered without an animated window (see attached video):
1. Open Firefox (fullscreen).
2. Open KCalc and position it behind where Yakuake will open.
3. Open Yakuake and move mouse around the screen.

RESULT: the blur flickers and glitches where the KCalk window is.
