Android CardView shadow gets cut off

Question

Shadows seem to cut off on some of my CardView usages. Any idea why? looks like removing the padding on the parent resolves the issue, but I do want the padding. And I don't want to use margin on the inner card, because there are other views aligned and I prefer having the padding set on the parent to apply to all children

Any solutions?

layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/standard_spacing"
    android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/standard_spacing"
    android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/standard_spacing"
    android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/smaller_spacing"
    app:cardCornerRadius="@dimen/standard_card_corner_radius"
    app:cardElevation="10dp">

    <androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:padding="@dimen/standard_spacing">

        <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView

            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            app:cardBackgroundColor="@color/light_gray_background"
            android:minHeight="40dp"
            app:cardElevation="5dp"
