[Typo3-dev] Drop Shadow stretched by blur

Hi All.

After setting up the new RC1 WAMP package for presentation on the fly on a
Windows laptop, I've run into some problems with drop shadows on TEXT
objects (ttf and images in menus).

Check this:
--- snip, setting up a TEXT obj ---
   shadow = SHADOW
   shadow {
    offset = 3,3
    color = black
    blur = 8
    opacity = 9
   } # end shadow
--- snip, ending the TEXT obj ---

Now if I use this with the default installation (only thing I had to change
was the ttf dpi which was set to "72" by default), I get a stretched drop
shadow. It seems to be stretched only horizontally times 2. The problem
seems to lie in blurring the dropshadow. Comment out that line, and things
work fine, besides giving me a sharp shadow, which isn't pretty...

Has anybody had this error before? Is there a way to fix it, or should it be
reported as a bug?
