That does indeed look *very* different from my system.  I had a hunch
and switched to another gnome-shell theme this morning and tested
again--now it looks better.  So it seems the 'alternative' theme[1],
which I've been using because it has a slimmer top panel, is broken.
How irritating!

You don't happen to know a good theme (that doesn't break
notifications) with a slim top panel? ;)

was supposed to do.

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with
millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural
integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
