When the panel takes up all the screen space the shadow is not shown. Looking up the code there is a chance that this is inside KWayland. Example: when the panel is at the bottom and takes up all the screen edge only one border is activated the TopBorder. In such case the panel shadow is not shown. It was found first with Latte that in some cases uses the same mechanism to draw shadows. When we enabled the leftborder and rightborder in this example the shadows were drawn correctly How to reproduce: 1. Add a panel that takes up all the screen space you can use also a theme with very big shadows to make it appear better such as the "Air" theme

Make shadows work for windows 100% width or height Summary: Clients provide shadows as 9 images, which then get split into relevant quads. To work out the full width we need the size of an item on the left, the middle and the right. Some elements can be legitiamtely missing so to work out the width of the left edge we need to consider all 3 of topleft,left,bottomleft. Currently we checked both corners in case one was missing, but it's legitimate for both to be missing if the shadow stretches the whole way. Test Plan: Shadow on panel, rest looks the same Reviewers: #plasma Subscribers: plasma-devel, kwin, #kwin Tags: #kwin Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D6164 M +8 -8 scene_opengl.cpp M +7 -0 utils.h https://commits.kde.org/kwin/e9e285618ef11e483b1da076f85b6fd81dd46056
