[ID-4275927, ID-4271158] Drop shadow changing position and shape on rotated objects and exporting incorrectly to PNG
Drop shadows move unexpectedly on rotated objects. It creates a visual glitch that can be seen toggling Overprint Preview On/Off.
Incorrect drop shadow can be seen in PNG export.
Correct drop shadow can be seen in PDF.
To recreate the bug:
1) Draw a shape or a create a text frame
2) Apply a drop shadow to the object (any setting, video is with Adobe default)
3) Rotate the object
4) Move the object around the live page until the drop shadow starts moving unexpectedly (offset varies).
5) Export to PNG.

This was not observed in version 20 of InDesign. This is a significant bug as it creates a working file that does not reflect exports.

Same as Gavin at MRP previously posted : when I move a field/object, the drop shadow is not moved to the same place.
The bug appeared several months ago: whether objects are grouped or not, when I move an object with a shadow applied, the two separate and the shadow moves randomly. I have to position my object and apply the shadow only when I know it won't move ! (Up-to-date version of InDesign, Mac mini M4 Pro 48GB RAM)Also, when I try to move the Indesin window by clicking on the top bar with the mouse, I have to try several times before it works… Both bugs are disrupting my workflow!
