Description
For example, the shadow shows up with this:
``` javascript
var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer');
var rectangleInstance = new Cesium.GeometryInstance({
geometry : new Cesium.RectangleGeometry({
rectangle : Cesium.Rectangle.fromDegrees(-140.0, 30.0, -100.0, 40.0)
}),
id : 'rectangle',
attributes : {
color : new Cesium.ColorGeometryInstanceAttribute(0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5)
}
});
viewer.scene.primitives.add(new Cesium.GroundPrimitive({
geometryInstances : rectangleInstance,
debugShowShadowVolume : true
}));
```
But not this:
``` javascript
var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer');
var rectangleInstance = new Cesium.GeometryInstance({
geometry : new Cesium.RectangleGeometry({
rectangle : Cesium.Rectangle.fromDegrees(-140.0, 30.0, -100.0, 40.0)
}),
id : 'rectangle',
attributes : {
color : new Cesium.ColorGeometryInstanceAttribute(0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
}
});
viewer.scene.primitives.add(new Cesium.GroundPrimitive({
geometryInstances : rectangleInstance,
debugShowShadowVolume : true
}));
```

Research direction
Start with the GroundPrimitive shadow-volume rendering path and reproduce the issue using the two JavaScript examples in the report. Compare the translucent and opaque color cases; done when debugShowShadowVolume displays the shadow volume for the opaque color as well.
