when a building casts a shadow onto a tree, there is a bright beam of light cast by the tree, instead of a shadow.

expected, a continuous shadow from the building.

Additional bug,
Screenshots are not saved when using the  -savedatafolder SaveData switch, or I would post a screenshot of what I see.

I have the same problem also on an unmodded Mac with the latest version. The problems affects pawns and trees(and possibly other stuff). When two shadows overlap they should add together.

Yes it's a known (and old) limitation with using the stencil buffer to do faded shadows. Won't be fixed, I'm afraid. Thanks for reporting anyway.
