hmmm. Currently the Style dropdown isn't showing shadowed, and when I select it, I see yet more shadow appear from the text. So I guess the shadow I see is a different one. I'm attaching a sample file here; any idea how I make the left shape be like the right one (without the weird shadows below the "weird" text)?

thanks,
