Ugly shadow under Wayland

[Fred]

The window shadow looks good under X.Org Server, but under Wayland it is buggy and looks big and ugly and white.

Other applications such as gnome-calculator, gedit, etc looks fine in Wayland.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same here. I'm using Ubuntu Gnome 16.10, Gnome 3.20.4.

I am unable to duplicate the drop shadow issue. I am attaching screenshots with and without Wayland on Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 under VirtualBox. I can see that the scrollbar is slightly off in Wayland.

What graphics driver are you using?

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Can you duplicate this issue with a new user?

Is this with the 'GNOME on Wayland' session?

What theme are you using?

Is there anything else different about your install that might be relevant?

In my screenshot I was using Weston with the Adwaita theme.

I'll try to reproduce with a new user on "GNOME on Wayland" session once I get home.

I am using Intel graphics driver on a Haswell 4770K GPU.

Note however that GNOME Terminal is the only application which have the drop shadow issue, in the screenshot you can also see GNOME Calculator which does not suffer from this.
I also tested with other applications and its only GNOME Terminal that have this issue.

Also, its not just the drop shadow, but also the menu position placement that is awkward when clicking on a menu in the menubar.

[Fred (eldmannen+launchpad)]

I created a new account and logged into GNOME on Wayland and now GNOME Terminal looked and behaved correctly and did not have the ugly drop shadow issue.

After using dconf-editor to recursively reset the configuration for /org/gnome/terminal/ this issue disappeared for me on my normal user account too. :)

Still exists in 17.04 running on GNOME
