BUG: Can't edit Photo in shape when Dropshadow is activated

When I drag a picture into a shape I usually can doubleclick it afterwards to move it around inside of the mask. With the latest update this isnt possible, when it has an active dropshadow.

When I double click now, it selects the path to edit.

    Hey, I wasn't able to replicate it. I can still click and drag the image around the masking shape with a drop shadow applied. See attached video.

     

    Can you include the layers panel in your recording as well? Things are a bit strange on that video you posted, the actions seem to be lagging behind your cursor. To edit the image, you need to double-click inside the shape. If you click on the edge of the shape, you will be editing the path.

    Hi Spas,

    sorry for the late reply, I didn't see your asnwer.

    I tried to replicate your example - and it worked without a problem!

    Now, what was different? Your Shape has a border. As soon as I switched of he border of my shape (with drop shadow) the problem with the non selectable picture inside returned.

     

    Can you check if you can reproduce my problem with deactivated border?
