Is this a bug or known issue?

I added a drop shadow to an image and you can clearly see where the edges of either the text box or the margins are.

Hi and welcome to the forums @roguefx,

We would need to see a screenshot of the layers panel with the photo and other layers below it.

I think what you are seeing is another object (a rectangle) that is underneath the photo.

Hello and welcome to the forums, @roguefx

How have you stacked the layers?

[roguefx]

Here's the layers, I smudged out the book name. It's super simple, in that area of the page there is only a framed text box with the image over it

[roguefx]

I did a little test and resized the text box, as you can see it's related to that

[Komatös]

Yes please arange the float.jpg unter the text layer.

[roguefx]

yeah, not exactly what I'm going for 

 

 

[Komatös]

Has the text layer a white backround?

[roguefx]

no idea, I've been mucking with it for 5 minutes, the color options are pretty unintuitive

in my defense I've been using Apub for a grand total of about 3 hours

Try either setting the fill on the text frame to None:

 

Or setting the Blend Mode on the Outer Shadow effect to something like Hard Light:

[roguefx]

well, I got my text looking better. Apparently having the stroke set to none doesn't matter if there's a color set. I'd call that a bug too.

 

[Komatös]

Forget my suggestion with the text layer 😏

[roguefx]

doesn't seem to matter what blending style I choose, it's always there. Took a while to figure out I had to click the little gear to get that option.

Still haven't figured out how to get the text frame options. I tried selecting it under the view/studio menu, but still nothing

View - Studio - Text Frame:

[roguefx]

Yeah, did that, still don't see anything

[roguefx]

somehow I managed to remove an outline on the text, but only on that page. Tried editing the master, tried doing the same thing to other pages, nothing. So far this program isn't blowing up my proverbial skirt. 

I also just discovered the the text I placed can't be updated, so it isn't really linked. Yet I cannot change the name of the text frame in the layers.

I might have to wait until 2.0 to mess with this, doesn't seem quite ready for prime time

[Komatös]

Unfortunately, I can't recreate it here.

@roguefx, If you provide the file it would be easier to see what's going on, but based on your screenshot of the layers panel, it looks like there may be a fill color applied to the text frames on the master page. I know you mentioned you tried editing the master, but I'm wondering if there are edits that need to be made on the text frames in the master page.

If an object's stroke is set to 'No line style' a stroke will not be applied to the object, even if there is a color is set in the 'Frame stroke fill.' 

Regarding the text that can't be updated, is the text frame only on that page ... i.e., not in a text frame from the Master A page? It could be that the text frame was created on a single production page but it was put in the Master A page layer. If that's the case, right-click the master 'Master A' layer and select Edit Detached, move the text layer outside the Master A layer, then click the red Finish button.
