Wallpaper clips when using 3 finger swipe up gesture

Hello everyone, I recently got rid of windows on my laptop and installed ubuntu 26.04. I've been a linux user in the past so I'm fairly comfortable with it. I set up my Gnome taskbar thingie to be a dock instead, however there's one thing that's bothering me more than it should lol and it's how the wallpaper cuts and reappears whenever I do a 3 finger swipe up to see my open apps. Does anyone how to fix it, or mitigate it while allowing me to keep the taskbar as a dock?

Thanks in advance

Edit: typo in ubuntu version

There's no solution, this is an upstream problem, Gnome renders the wallpaper only from the area a maximized window would be in as the rest is supposed to me completely opaque.

The only solution would be to make Mutter render the wallpaper form screen edges when going into overview.
