Pixelated desktop widget corners on macOS Tahoe 26.1

Desktop widgets show weird and ugly pixelated corners. (see image).

When I move a desktop widget, it appear correctly, but when I do something, the glitch reappear.

The weird thing is that when you make a software screenshot, the widget appear correctly on the screenshot, even if on the monitor the glitch is still there.

Here is a picture I took with a physical camera of the widget corners as they appear for "real" on the desktop, and as they appear in a software screenshot.

macOS Tahoe 26.1 (not beta).

MacBook Air M3 13 inch, this is on built in monitor.

Bug persist after reboot, after deleting and putting widgets back, also after moving widgets.

There was a similar graphical bug in the Contacts app, not sure if it was fixed in 26.1. All you can do is report it to Apple with the link provided by @leroydouglas and wait for a fix.
