Translucent window flickers when hovering over editor images in MacOS

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable “Translucent window” in Settings
  2. Enter Editing view
  3. Hover over an image in the Editor

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes.

Expected result

I expected the workspace to remain translucent.

Actual result

When Translucent window is enabled, the workspace and sidebars flicker and lose their translucency. Instead, they appear more opaque. The translucent effect returns once the cursor is no longer hovering over an image.

Additional information

I produced this bug on in the sandbox vault. I also created a screen recording that shows the flickering effect:
