Summary0013783: Transparency of frame effects transparency of shadow
DescriptionI have tried to "abuse" the shadow effect to make a blurred background frame behind a text, but when setting frame color transparency to 0% (to have the nicest blur), the shadow will show nicely within scribus, but will not be visible in the exported pdf.
I'm not sure whether this is a bug in the canvas drawing or the pdf export, but it's a bug for sure... ;-)

I guess this is because Scribus doesn't flatten transparency.
Pdf/x-3 for example doesn't know transparency, in pdf/x-4 the result is ok.

Just saw that it works with the newest daily build from Scribus ppa on launchpad (which says 1.5.2.svn, btw.). But it does not work on 1.5.0

It doesn't depend on the Scribus-Version, but on the pdf-version - is transparency allowed or not?

Tested in 1.5.1 and 1.5.2.svn, in both case PF export match canvas display. As drop shadow requires use of transparency, usage of a PDF format >= 1.4 is required.
