There are a few possible reasons why you may be experiencing a black shadow line on the side of your website when moving the backdrop filter div in and out in Webflow. Here are some potential causes and troubleshooting steps to help you fix this issue:

  1. Incompatible browser: Some browsers may not fully support the backdrop filter property, which can lead to unexpected visual artifacts like the black shadow line. Verify if the issue persists across different browsers and versions. If the problem is browser-specific, consider using a different approach or fallback option for achieving the desired effect.

  2. Div stacking order: Check the stacking order of the elements on your page. If the backdrop filter div is overlapping with another element, it could cause unexpected visual artifacts. Adjust the z-index property of the div to ensure it's positioned correctly in the stacking order.

  3. Box-shadow or border properties: If you have applied a box-shadow or border to the backdrop filter div, it could be causing the black shadow line. In certain cases, when the backdrop filter is applied, box-shadow or border properties may interact and produce unintended results. Try removing or adjusting these properties to see if it resolves the issue.

  4. Div dimensions and positioning: Incorrect dimensions or positioning of the backdrop filter div can also cause visual artifacts. Ensure that the div is properly aligned and doesn't exceed the boundaries of its parent container. Use the Webflow designer layout tools to adjust the dimensions and positioning of the div and see if it resolves the problem.

  5. Inadequate hardware acceleration: Insufficient hardware acceleration can sometimes result in visual artifacts when using certain CSS properties or effects, including backdrop filter. If your graphics card or device doesn't support hardware acceleration, it may struggle to render the effect properly. Updating your graphics drivers or trying the website on a different device can help determine if this is the cause.

By troubleshooting these potential causes, you should be able to identify and fix the black shadow line issue on the side of your website when using the backdrop filter div in Webflow.
