Argh!!!

This bug is really pissing me off.

If you’re reading this, do the following and tell me if it happens for you too:
1. make a type layer, with anything.
2. add a dropshadow to it.
3. make a new layer.
4. doodle something or do whatever you want in this new layer.
5. add a dropshadow effect to it, BUT now try to change the angle the shadow falls from (in the properties). For me, IT CHANGES THE ANGLE OF THE SHADOW FOR ALL FRIGGIN’ LAYERS AND NOT _ONLY_ THAT PARTICULAR LAYER (LIKE IT SHOULD BE).

Anyone else experiencing this bug?

PS: Oh, hi there, Adobe. How about releasing a patch?

The only bug is your inability to read the help or manual.

If you did either you’d see that their’s a choice to use global light. Turn it off.

I think it’s against the geek code for a guy named Bob to call himself Dilbert in any online medium. The geek squad should be at your location momentarily. Please stay where you are!
