True! Although they could have just left it alone, too, since it wasn’t ever an error.
IIRC at the time, everyone swore up and down it was evidence of bad continuity (He’s not wearing a jacket! Now he’s wearing his vest! Now it’s back off again) but shortly after the change was made, I think a behind-the-scenes video of that scene’s filming revealed the set lights coming on and casting those shadows on him.
But FWIW, this new change does look better than the last one did.
