Bug Description

Since at least 2013-2014, Unity7's window ordering logic has regressed. I know this because I remember fixing it some years ago the first time.

What should happen is that panel menus' shadows never appear on top of the panel. More generally, no window's shadow should appear on top of the panel unless the window body does.

This bug is now masked by bug 1417615 in vivid, but I think still present.

BTW, this is a Unity bug and not a Compiz bug, because the solution should be to control the window paint order more carefully in the unityshell plugin.
