            duration = 3.0;
            start = "window-x-before - window-x";
            end = 0;
        };
        offset-y = {
            curve = "cubic-bezier(0.07, 0.65, 0, 1)";
            duration = 3.0;
            start = "window-y-before - window-y";
            end = 0;
        };
        shadow-offset-x = "offset-x";
        shadow-offset-y = "offset-y";
        saved-image-blend = 0;
    }
);

Steps of reproduction

1. Set corner-radius
2. Set shadow
3. Set animation for geometry change
4. Resize the window

---

(1) Expected behavior

The shadow animation should have the same timing as the window animation.

(1) Current Behavior

The shadow animation is delayed compared to the window animation.

---

(2) Expected behavior

Corners should not erase shadows.

(2) Current Behavior

Corners are erasing the shadows.
Corner shadows are being animated (?)

hmm, i think this is probably because of interaction between saved-image-blend and rounded corners 🤔
