SUMMARY
so im facing this issue many times that when you open something frequently updating on screen like cava when a music is playing and then clicking on one of the widgets the widget part goes black slowly and it resets when you close a window, i attached an image of that.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn off night light and turn on blur
2. Open cava (terminal based music spectrum visualizer)
3. Open one of the default widgets
4. You'll see widget goes slowly in darkness and it will reset when you close a window

OBSERVED RESULT
Parts of screen goes black probably it spreads

EXPECTED RESULT
Widget shows up without fading black

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 41
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2

Likely a graphics driver bug.

Does the black area spread to app windows, or is it always limited to only Plasma things (e.g. panel, widgets pop-ups, desktop)?

With mesa 25.0.0 it was spreading to the windows too, but with 25.0.1 no its only plasma things
