Shading apply to label unexpected in matrix environment

I am trying to add shadow to node. For normal node, the shade will not impact the label. However, for nodes inside a matrix, the labels are shadowed too.

MWE below

documentclass[border=5mm, convert]{standalone}

usepackage{tikz}

usetikzlibrary{shapes, positioning, matrix, shadows}



begin{document}

    begin{tikzpicture}[auto]

        tikzset{myrect/.style={draw, rectangle, font=ttfamily, fill=white, drop shadow}}

        tikzset{mylabel/.style={color=blue, font=tiny ttfamily}}

        node[myrect, label={[mylabel]above:normal label}] (ele) {Single Element};



        matrix (layer) [matrix of nodes, nodes={myrect, anchor=center}, column sep = 1cm, below = of ele] {

            |[label={[mylabel]:matrix label 1}]|matrix element 1 &

            |[label={[mylabel]:matrix label 2}]|matrix element 2 &

            |[label={[mylabel]:matrix label 3}]|matrix element 3 \

        };

    end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

The output is as the following: enter image description here

How this happen and is there way to avoid it?

The nodes= key for the matrix is like a shortcut for every node/.style= and since labels are also nodes, they also get the drop shadow. I suspect that some keys, like draw are reset within a label, but others like drop shadow are not.

You could use the no shadows key from solution B from this answer and add it to your mylabel style. That would delete all preactions added to the labels, including the drop shadow.

One way is to adjust the your style-set definitions (as done by @marmot):

 documentclass[tikz, margin=3mm]{standalone}

usetikzlibrary{shadows, shapes, positioning, matrix}

makeatletter % from https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/129322/121799

tikzset{no shadows/.code=lettikz@preactionspgfutil@empty}

makeatother

%https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/422782/labels-of-nodes-with-drop-shadow

begin{document}

    begin{tikzpicture}[

    every node/.style = {font= ttfamily, draw, fill=white, drop shadow},

    every label/.append style = {

        font=tiny ttfamily,

        color = blue,

    }

    ]

    node [label={[no shadows]foobar}]  (ele) {node with shadow};

    matrix (layer) [no shadows, matrix of nodes, draw = none, column sep = 1cm, below = of ele] {

        |[label={[no shadows]:matrix label 1}]|matrix element 1 &

        |[label={[no shadows]:matrix label 2}]|matrix element 2 &

        |[label={[no shadows]:matrix label 3}]|matrix element 3 \

    };

    end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

Thank you, both you and @Max point me to solution of disable preactions. I am still wondering if there can be options in matrix to avoid polluting the label

@EricSun Also, as far as not to pollute the matrix environment, I dont know. May be I can look it up.
