Recent update broke GNOME Shell drawing?

Question

Hi.
I'm recently working on a theme for GNOME Shell, and in the "popup-menu-item" class I used a style like this: "box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 #86d1f2;"
It was all good before, but after I update my system yesterday the inset box-shadow property seems to be broken.
With "0 1px [something greater than 0]" it works just fine,
but if I do what I did above, going with "0 1px 0", the shadow (which should've been only 1 pixel high) would cover the whole button.
Not sure if it's just me or it really is a bug.
And I don't know much about all those packages, but I suspect it's gtk or cairo that cause the change.
Please tell me what you think and where and how I can properly report this. Thanks!

Is it something Nvidia-related? No, I don't think so. I'm running on ATI.
But I don't think it's a graphical glitch caused by driver or something like that anyway.
Must be the Shell or whatever it is it's using to draw.
A few thoughts:
1. If someone can check this for me, apply a random third-party theme, and add "box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 red;" in the ".popup-menu-item" block, ALT-F2 "rt"
then check if it's a red line or covers the whole item.
2. Assume it's caused by, say, Cairo, can I downgrade to an earlier version easily with pacman or yaourt? That way I might be able to find the problem.
Thanks.
