Description

So, background blur on overview is turned on, but on overview it doesn't actually get blurred, but if you set a new wallpaper and overview during wallpaper changing animation, it gets blurred forever until you change wallpaper again

Until the recent update of the system (I did it yesterday) from latest commit on main, it was working normally

Expected Behavior

Normal blur on overview and unblur on exiting the overview is expected

Steps to Reproduce

build from sources, latest commit, and reproduce the actions from description

Very interesting, I have been using quickshell-git for a while, but never had such a problem
