Noticing strange glitches recently in InDesign when exporting a file. I added a slight drop shadow to text that was set at 0 distance. The screen showed it correctly but when exporting it shifted the drop shadow.
Working in Indesign 2026 v 21.4. The drop shadow exported incorrectly from the settings for it. Onscreen it looked as it should, but once exported it shifted it dramatically. I tried adding in and changing the distance in the drop shadow settings but it always showed up the same, incorrectly. Anybody else experiencing something like that?
This image is the onscreen, correct view, it is only supposed to add a slight shadow so it is set to 0 distance.
This image is of the exported png file with the clearly incorrect rendering of the drop shadow where it is clearly offset and at a distance
