Dragging selected text adds a background to the selection.
Whatever might be selected, a background is added, sometimes there's only the background without the text.
Figured it might've been a compositing issue, so I looked unto my picom config, but I can't seem to find the option that fixes my problem.
My picom config
A demonstration of the problem, notice the black background around the text after dragging the selection:

Re: Dragging selected text adds a background to the selection.
Even iff there's a compositor, the behavior is ultimately down to the specific client (the application you're dragging from)
It needs to create an ARGB window and set the background accordingly - which it might depend on whether there was a compositor available when it started.
You can configure the overall opacity for "dnd" windows in picom, but that likewise requires the client to at least use the proper window type.
