Title:
  Panel drop shadow causes issues for screencasting apps

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  The drop shadow on the panel at the top of the screen in unity seems
  to do odd things when the screen is being recorded. This makes
  recording videos of the desktop almost impossible.

  a) It grows and shrinks in size as the mouse goes near it
  b) it appears to be on "top" of application windows. (see end of video)

  See attached video for a sample.

  Perhaps this is due to the way the drop shadow is implemented as a png
  overlaid on top of whatever is under it?
