Description Michail Vourlakos 2020-08-24 13:50:57 UTC

SUMMARY
Playing around with ShadowedRectangle the following use case creates huge shadows even though it should not.

when: min(rect_width,rect_height) > shadow_size

in that case the shadows become too large and are much bigger than the specified shadow_size.

Example:
for Rectangle, w=100px, h=30px., shadow=30px. everything looks just fine but if the shadow size changes to 31px. then the produced shadow is much bigger than 31px. and occupies very big area with no obvious reason.

width `height: 32` and `shadow.size: 36`

Comment 4 Noah Davis 2020-10-11 19:48:21 UTC

Actually, I'm not sure I reproduce the issue as you described it because having a shadow size lower than the width or height doesn't necessarily create a shadow that is actually smaller than the width or height.

Comment 8 Michail Vourlakos 2020-10-28 09:14:25 UTC

You are right, with KF5 5.75 I can not reproduce... I sent also a ShadowedRectangle Visual Debugger with validate results.

With the visual debugger I reproduce a new bug that very big shadows are cut out.

For example,
height: 30px.
shadow: 50px.

should I open a new bug report or this is known?
