Hi i tested GG, added level entities, and 1 light.
The result is so wrong....
Why lights pas trough the walls & floors?
Why is no shadows projected?
Why light coming from outside & lights added in scene doesn't project shadows ?
the interior building doesn't understand shadows at all, it only use a basic shadow from the sun...

For lights to cast shadows you need to use static lights (lights with red circle instead of green) and then bake the scene using one of the f1-f4 keys.

Wall thickness is what is supposed to stop the light from leaking through but yh it's a known issue, you can also reduce the strength of the light and play with it's position to try reduce it.

Lights are very basic, we are all hoping for an improvement one day

Yep its old news that dynamic lighting still needs a lot of work.
Thankfully at least static lighting does not bleed and gives you the shadows your looking for.
