I created a new account and logged into GNOME on Wayland and now GNOME Terminal looked and behaved correctly and did not have the ugly drop shadow issue.
After using dconf-editor to recursively reset the configuration for /org/gnome/terminal/ this issue disappeared for me on my normal user account too. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612416 Title: Ugly shadow under Wayland Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The window shadow looks good under X.Org Server, but under Wayland it is buggy and looks big and ugly and white.
