I suspect this regression might have been intentional, to account for a Compiz/Unity regression that happened around 2013-14 some time; menu shadows drawn over Unity panel.

But removing the shadow completely is too heavy-handed, and not the right way to approach the problem. Just fixing the original regression would be preferable.

I hardly think this has anything to do with Unity 8, it's an artifact of the new GTK+ extents handling and requires changes in Compiz to support that under Unity 7.
