drop shadow and blur have rounded edges

That is correct. If you blur a sharp object then hard edges and corners will look softer. So, 90 degree corners will become rounded. The soft shadow is just showing the same effect.

I don't think this is working correctly. Drop shadow is also giving me a shadow around the whole object, instead of "dropping."

Increase the Distance setting to move the shadow away from the object. The direction is set by the light angle setting.

Your Distance is only set to 3 pixels. Try dragging the slider to the right.

Thanks - I think I was half asleep this morning.
