ContentTranslation's sticky translation filter currently stays flat in visual terms, while it's position: sticky.
It should feature a one-sided, bottom box-shadow to emphasize scrollability of content underneath. On GUI systems like macOS, with hidden scrollbars, that's an additional hint for better discoverability.
Also it's in line with our default approach where to use drop shadows and with the card-like appearance of “Need help translating” aside.

I think it makes sense to add the shadow when the list is scrolled, but not initially. Adding it before any scroll adds more noise than clarity in my opinion.
Based on team input, supporting this seems too complex for the current dashboard, and the effort may not be worth it since the dashboard is in the process of a refactoring (T243583).
Let's revert the change, and consider the requirement for the new dashboard.
