Description

After trying to launch wofi as a normal window all my shadows are messed up, they are now transparent layers with just a colored border like this(stacked a bunch of windows so its more obvious):

Before the shadow was smoother and you couldnt see those weird lines while my config has not changed a bit:

(older screenshot)

from my config:

decoration {
    active_opacity = 1
    inactive_opacity = 1
    rounding = 15
    dim_inactive = true
    dim_strength = 0.05
    drop_shadow = true
    shadow_range = 300 
    shadow_render_power = 4
    col.shadow = rgba(1a1a1aaf)
    shadow_offset = 0 40
    shadow_scale = 0.9

}

I am running on nvidia with all the nvidia specific modifications the hyprland wiki recommends and havent encountered this issue until now.

How to reproduce

Switch wofi from using its own layer shell to rendering it as a normal window.
