Same issue for the "overview" and "present windows" effects, however, there it doesn't become directly obvious, since those use a blurred background. It can be observed during a drag of Konsole's window though.

Comment 4 bastimeyer123 2022-11-05 10:21:17 UTC
I would appreciate if this could get a bit more attention by the developers, because this is really distracting if you're not using the default breeze theme, which means that every window with background transparency that would usually have a blur effect applied looks awful on the desktop grid or overview effect (e.g. Dolphin). And this makes the animation look broken as well due to the sudden lack of the blur effect. Even if you're not using a custom theme, konsole allows you to set its own background transparency, which is a very commonly used setting, so there should be enough motivation alone in this case. Thanks.
