Desktop Icons glitch on mouse hover

Hi all,

I’m having a graphical glitch with the icons on the dock, as well as the icons on the top right of the screen (i.e., the Bluetooth, network, notification, etc. icons). The issue happens when I hover my mouse over the icons, which results in the icons disappearing from their place, and overlapping on the left side of the dock. On the top right they simply disappear. I recorded my screen to show you an example: https://imgur.com/a/RLVDLXU. I am running Garuda KDE Dr460nized, and the issue occurs both on X11 and on Wayland.

I am having difficulties debugging the issue. I tried to search for other people with the same problem, but could not find any similarities. I tried switching to a different global theme but the issue persists. Is anyone here able to help me fix it, or point me in the right direction? Your help would be very much appreciated !
