Hi nildoe,
your shader works well using 4.43 but I think your shader has something wrong, impossible to reproduce, as to connect scatter node to filmwidth..
In short, shader seems right using 3.07 but shader works badly; shader seems wrong using 3.08 but shader works well.
I keep you updated.

there definetely a problem with 5.07...
this is a simple mix shader that was working also in previous 4.43...
I know that the name of the shader is Carpaint_Black, but thats because i forgot to change to white
