Bug 89533

File with shadows, which garbaged during PDF->SVG conversion

When converting attached file to SVG, I see that square and star objects shadows are missing. I've used pdftocairo version 0.24.6. Command:
pdftocairo -svg testlinks.pdf

Using git bisect I've found that first commit where shadow rendering was broken is

commit 8020e0bc8cbd3e5ac188eb305b74ae1c1f362a31

In that commit file src/cairo-recording-surface.c was changed.

If I revert this part of diff patch, then shadows rendering brings back.

Could you please help me to fix _cairo_recording_surface_copy function to support shadows?

In the latest cairo builds shadows are broken even more. They are not absent, but rendered as gray rectangles under the objects.
