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, okay, now I managed to reproduce it. Solution: hold Ctrl when double-clicking. This selects the image regardless weather the mask shape has a border with or without a shadow. It should still be filed as a bug though imo.

@Rishabh_Tiwari can you please confirm this is not "intended" and if it's a bug, communicate the issue to the team? 🙂

To reproduce the bug:

1. Create a rectangle.

2. Drag an image on it.

3. Disable the rectangle's border.

4. Add a drop shadow effect.

5. When you double-click inside the rectangle, instead of giving you control of the image, the rectangle converts to a shape and the anchor points become editable. This should only happen if you click on the element's border.

I've attached a video showing the issue.
