I've experienced this problem in the last version of XPression and the one I am on now (v6.1 build 3437), but whenever I have a drop shadow on text, the direction is opposite of where I want it to be when I click the continuous animation button (F12). For instance, on the text, if I have the offset X at -3 and the Offset Y at 3, it appears to drop to the bottom right. But when I deselect the continuous animation button, it flips and goes to the upper left. I used to just ignore this and work around it, but now it just bothers me that I don't understand why it does this. Anyone else have this problem?
