I'm running Mac Port version of emacs 27.2 on macOS big sur. I recently updated to macos 11.3, and I'm having some strange behavior when I do a C-s search. In around 75% of instances, the entire buffers turns blurred out/grey except for search matches (see screenshot). It looks like the semi-transparent background macOS puts behind many objects (e.g., dock, spotlight search)

Even after I've exited search, the greyed background is persistent until I switch buffers and switch back, so it's quite annoying. I experience the issue on both integrated MacBook screen and external displays.

Things I've tried:

• Reducing transparency in macOS preferences
• Disabling spotlight search in macOS preferences
• updating from emacs 27.1 --> 27.2
• stripping down .emacs file

Has anyone else experience this issue? Any ideas on how to solve? Thanks in advance for the help!
