Drop shadow on Master page number marker text doesn't change on document pages.

I've set Current Page Number markers on my Master pages, and added a drop shadow to the text. When the master is applied to a document page, the Page Number Marker functions properly, but the drop shadow retains the shap of the Marker Character from the master page, and doesn't change to reflect the document page number until I detach the text from the master page.

How does it look on export to PDF?

In my test - the numbers for the shadow are 1 page behind! But on export to PDF it's correct.

If you raise it - I'll certainly back it up with a vote!

I'll be damned! Hadn't thought to check a PDF export.

All page numbers display fine in a PDF, which I guess is, at the end, all I need it to do, in this case.

 

Thanks for the smack to the side of the head! I'll submit this as a bug.
