Tested with 16.07.70+git20160623 the problem still exists. I now also noticed that this depends on the font size: For a font size of 250, I had to use an offset of 20.

I cannot reproduce on git master. Your title clip correctly displays the shadow with a 20px vertical offset for me. Are you using our master PPA when you say that you reproduce on git master? It can sometimes take 1-2 days before a git commit reaches that PPA, so could you try again if that is the case?
I am using http://ppa.launchpad.net/kdenlive/kdenlive-master/ubuntu with the current version 16.07.70+git20160623. Will try again the following days.
Tested with 16.07.70+git20160624. While bug 349450 is fixed (which has been pushed to git later than this fix), I still need to use an offset to get the texts to align. Though, I now noticed that there is a difference when I use another font. "Sawasdee" as used in the example now needs an offset of 23. For "DejaVu Sans" on the other hand, there is no offset needed (works as expected).
Right, I see it now. The bug only happens on some fonts.
Git commit 138ac40d900a146a035b37ce59f1a02f8921c275 by Jean-Baptiste Mardelle. Committed on 25/06/2016 at 13:33. Pushed by mardelle into branch 'master'. Fix shadow offset by doing custom paint of text items when not editing. As a side effects, on some fonts there is a vertical offset when editing, but it's only when editing. There is still a 2 pixel vertical offset between Title Widget and real render that will be fixed by an upcoming patch in MLT Also fixes a bug where creating a rect over a title moved the title M +69 -24 src/effectstack/graphicsscenerectmove.cpp M +2 -0 src/effectstack/graphicsscenerectmove.h http://commits.kde.org/kdenlive/138ac40d900a146a035b37ce59f1a02f8921c275
Fixed in 16.07.70+git20160625. Thx!
