Bug description

This was happening on Linux Mint 22 Wilma (Cinnamon 6.2.9) as well. When I add a background blur to the panel strange vertical lines flash when I hover over window list items and are sometimes present even when I'm not interacting with the panel at all. The first screenshot is unedited and the second one has the vertical lines clearly highlighted (because they're a lot harder to see in a still image). The screenshots are a bit saturated because of #12637 but that's an unrelated concern.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select the Mint-L-Dark-Aqua theme (or any other theme, this isn't unique to that one).
  2. Copy the theme's folder from /usr/share/themes to /home/user/.themes.
  3. Append these lines to the end of the cinnamon.css file:
.panel-top, .panel-bottom, .panel-left, .panel-right {
  background-color: rgba(47, 47, 47, 0.3);
  background-blur: 2px; }
  1. Restart Cinnamon (CTRL + ALT + ESC).
  2. Hover over the window list items with your mouse.

Expected behavior

There should be no flashing vertical lines, they should either always exist (as an intended border), exist only on hover, or never exist.

Additional information

I can reproduce this with any theme I try, I've tried several built-in themes as well as a few third-party themes as well. I have tried explicitly setting no borders (border: none;) for grouped window list items but that doesn't appear to work.
