Describe the bug

box-shadows renders only when the target element transitions in or when I resize the window. I think this bug might be caused by webkit gtk, but I couldn't find any known issues.

Here is a screenshot of how the code in the reproduction section renders:

This is how the html+css looks in chrome:

Tested in a blank new project with a vanilla template + javascript & npm

Reproduction

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <style>
      .legacy-shadow {
        -webkit-box-shadow: 4px 4px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
        -moz-box-shadow: 4px 4px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
        box-shadow: 4px 4px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.8);
      }
      .container {
        width: 100%;
        height: 100%;
      }
    </style>
  </head>

  <body>
    <div class="container"> <div class="legacy-shadow">Where is my ring or shadow?</div> </div>
  </body>
</html>

Expected behavior

The box-shadows to render.
