Persistent drop shadow
 
Hello, I am using OG Pro 5.1.1...

...and I have hidden a background element (a key to symbols that I don't want on the first page) under an opaque white shape whose outline ("Stroke") I have turned off in the Style Inspector. I have also turned off the drop shadow in the Style inspector, but I still see the invisible object's drop shadow. I have minimized the shadow, changed its color to white, etc. before unchecking it altogether, but it persists -- in Omnigraffle, in the exported .pdf, and in the printout of the .pdf.

Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of this?

Thanks in advance, R.M.

I'd suggest sending in the file to [email]omnigraffle@omnigroup.com[/email] so we can take a better look at it. Seems rather puzzling.

Persistent drop shadow - problem solved
 
What I didn't catch on to (until the Support Ninja pointed it out) was that the mysterious persistent drop shadow is being cast not by the invisible object but [I]by the background object it was covering up[/I]. PEBCAK. Omnigraffle is blameless.
