Thanks for these responses - all helpful, and I have made some progress - but I'm not quite there yet. I have looked at: and but neither of these seem to work in 1.1 When I switch from the selection to the node tool, all that happens is that the bounding box changes and a tiny square appears just above the bottom left hand corner of the box. I realise that there does not appear to be an envelope creation as such (as in CorelDraw) but the action should work on the existing bounding box around (eg) a selection of text.
This is a technique I am familiar with from CorelDraw but it doesn't seem to work as described in inkscape. The help file for this version of inkscape seems to relate to much older versions and tell me to switch to the node tool and then adjust the control point attached to the nodes. However, I do not seem to be able to grasp how to create an envelope around a selection and then distort this for effect. I previously used CorelDraw in windows for many years and many of inkscape's features I can directly relate to previous experience and usage. Shout out to Michael Brady, who inspired this post by sharing the problem in the InDesign Secrets Facebook Group.Hi I am using inkscape 1.1 and I am a newbie to both inkscape and relatively new to linux. If you have found any other ways to make text drop shadows update 100% of the time, please share them in the comments and I’ll add them to this post. I also thought that turning Overprint Preview on and off would do the same thing. The fact that the problem doesn’t appear in output made me think of this one. It doesn’t affect anything in your layout and you can assign it a custom keyboard shortcut so you can do it instantly. This is not ideal, since it can change the stacking order of objects in your layout, and it’s a pain when the text frame is grouped with other stuff. Select the text frame with the Selection tool, the cut the frame and choose Edit > Paste in Place. So, for now (and, apparently, later), here are some things that you can do to force the shadow to update. Still, it’s very aggravating, especially since this bug has been described on the InDesign UserVoice site for years, but there’s no indication that an official fix is in the works. Fortunately, this glitch is just a screen artifact if you export a PDF the shadow will be correct. But one visual bug that affects users on all platforms is how a drop shadow applied to text will not update when the text is edited.Īnd delete the second line of text, the shadow remains.įorcing the screen to redraw, moving or resizing the text frame, etc will not reliably update the shadow. Most of these are limited to specific combinations of hardware and operating system. InDesign suffers from an assortment of visual glitches like disappearing text, objects not appearing where they really are on the page, etc.
