Shadows not rotated on a vertical panel in Maverick

[Erik Miranda]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Issue:
I have one panel placed vertically along the left side of my screen (with auto-hide). While the actual text seems to rotate properly, it seems like the shadow of the text is not rotated and is rendered horizontally. See attached screenshot.

Expected Behaviour:
The shadow of the text is also rendered vertically, beneath the text.

Details:
I am currently running Maverick (10.10). I did a full install from the live CD (wiped my previous system partition). I have used the vertical layout with the panel previously in Lucid, Karmic, and Jaunty and this is the first time I've seen this issue.

Still true in 11.04 the Natty Narwhal

Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal screenshot, showing improperly rotated panel.
The GNOME Panel 2.30.2.
Shadow is bad in Left and Right positions, and ok in Top and Bottom positions.

This has been plaguing me for several releases. This issue disappeared for a while in some earlier releases, then returned. Really makes gnome desktop look trashy for those of us that use side panels.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

This bug still affects me on Natty. I installed Natty by performing an upgrade on my previous Maverick install and am using Gnome by selecting "Ubuntu Classic" on logon. I've attached a screenshot depicting the bug under my current configuration in Natty.
