Given https://codepen.io/balepas/pen/ogbyvxW

```html
<h1>Hover me</h1>
```

```css
body {
  background: rgba(0 0 0 / 50%);
}

h1:hover {
  transform: translateY(10px);
  transition: transform 10s ease;
  background: transparent;
}
``` 

When you hover over an h1 element, the background color underneath it remains the same, but the page background color may become darker, as if two semi transparent backgrounds were underneath each other.

Bug is reproduced in Safari 26.0.1 and Safari TP Release 230 (WebKit 20623.1.11.19.3)

Thank you for the report, I can reproduce this. Not sure what's different between attempts when it happens, and those when it does not.

Does not reproduce: Safari 18.6 on macOS Sequoia 15.6
Reproduces: STP 223 on macOS Sequoia 15.6

We must be painting the body background twice.
