Hey guys, this is my first time on this forum. Im using RHEL 10.2 Gnome 49 Wayland with adw gtk3 and im encountering this weird bug where libreoffice scrollviews in dropdowns dont have shaddows and its hard to tell them appart from the rest of the UI. If I run libreoffice with GTK_BACKEND=x11, the problem seems to somehow go away, as I get UI Shaddows and native titlebars but then another problem arrives as modal dialogs dont initially get initialized as focused when in xwayland. I both tried launching libreoffice with various backends like gen which was horrible retro like, I tried gtk4 which was broken and im kinda stuck with gtk3 with no choice. Can somebody help me?
Note: I tried adding UI shaddows manually by using gtk3 config but had no effect whats so ever
