This is not a bug. You are not changing the object's properties; instead, you modify the properties of the style applied to this object (using the "Edit Style" context menu). This same style also applies to other objects; and naturally, its modifications affect all objects that use it - that's the essence of the styles, where you may make consistent modifications to look and feel of all related objects without the need to do it one-by-one.

Use "Area" context menu to edit direct properties related to fill and shadow of this specific object if you need to modify it independently; or create a dedicated style that you would apply to such objects that need to differ by having the shadow - that would later allow you to edit that style, and have all such objects modified uniformly throughout your document.

For more information, refer to "Chapter 3 Using Styles and Templates" in Getting Started guide [1].

Closing NOTABUG.
