While working with a *nix version of GTK3 Wireshark, I noticed that the
"pull-down" menus ("File", "Edit", etc) were not clearly delineated from
the underlying window.
IOW: there's no "border" around the drop-down.
To my eye the missing borders make the dropdowns more difficult to read.

1.30.0, with GLib 2.32.4, ...

Does anyone know if the missing borders are related to the statement that:
"borders around frames have been deprecated
since the early days of the 2.x HIG, and the new Adwaita theme
enforces this visual style." ?

(I'm Assuming that this effect isn't something about my particular
configuration):

There's also some stuff I don't understand about rendering frame borders
in the GTK3 porting guide under "Theming changes".

==============================================
As the above indicates, it appears that frame borders, in general, are
gone. I haven't spent any time going thru all the usage to see if things
look reasonably OK w/o borders.
Has anyone looked into this subject ?
