I already admitted you were correct. But I once again admit you were right.

I tried that as well. And both times I get the square shadow. I'll try it again.

OK, Acorn. Did you try what you suggested? If not please try it and report back.

Good advice Acorn. But shouldn't (I already know the answer) Xara do this automatically?

I have already modified the file. But here's a test file that will show what is happening. Make sure Shapes as SVG is checked. Then Preview the page.

I had two bitmap images with alpha transparency with shadows applied that when published with the Shapes as SVG added shadows to the non-visible part of the bitmap as well.
