[Gimp-user] Problem with shadows

[John Coppens]

Hello people,

I do the following:

1) A solid background,
2) A text of 5 lines, which is generated on a new layer
3) I move the text around a bit to align it, using the move tool,

With the text layer selected, I use tha drop-shadow, hoping to create a
shadow of the text, but instead, the shadow layer appears _before_ the
selected text layer, and the background layer gets displaced to the right
and below.

No shadow is visible. If I do the drop shados before 3), then the shadow
is rendered correctly.

Am I doing something wrong here? I installed 2.4.5 to be sure the problem
wasn't in 2.4.4 only.

John
