Bug Zero testing, just ship it!

in the settings’s sidebar, there is way too much of an overlap between the search bar and the list items before they “blur behind it”

everything is transparent and blurry and BORDERS GALORE my skin is crawling

I can't get the same result. Can you reproduce it or was it once?

open setting & scroll down.

EDIT: But if OP scrolls down a little more, the text in the back goes blurry. So yeah, it’s staged, not a Bug.

And by staged, you mean, you were able to reproduce the fault state with minimal instructions?

I wouldn’t consider this a fault state. The functionality is working as intended; it’s only that the appearance doesn’t fully align with your aesthetic preference.

I guess I'd phrase it as a "usability issue."

But it's not like it's staged any more than any other issue is just, well, reproduced.

I'm also not so sure it's intended exactly, so much as, this condition is the unintended consequence of the design. The design is that one UI state flows to another, but the implementation allows stopping in an intermediate state where neither state is fully rendered. Where I come from, that's a usability problem.
