Not a bug; this is in fact the intentional design. The shadows help you see which window is active. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Not a bug; this is in fact the intentional design. The shadows help you see > which window is active. However, this can obscure content in small windows, and is in contrast to how Windows 10 and 11's DWM.exe window manager and Android 7+'s compositor handle this (*they*, in contrast, do it in the same way). I shall upload some attachments to demonstrate how I believe that they both do this better. This was deliberately filed as NOR wishlist. Created attachment 163484 [details] How Android does it.
