A few additional observations:

1. This occurs with the official Breeze Dark theme.
2. This occurs with themed layouts OR when widgets are added manually to the desktop.

I think this is a combination of two longstanding already-reported issues: Bug 425368 and Bug 413645. Arbitrarily marking it as a duplicate of Bug 425368 because that one currently has fewer, and we can't mark a Bugzilla ticket as a duplicate of multiple other ones.

Both are high priority, but as you can see, unfortunately they've remained open for years due to a lack of resourcing for maintenance of the very old desktop containment code.
