           Summary: text-shadow is not drawn for text with transparent
                    colour.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://m8y.org/tmp/testcase67.xhtml
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: bugs at m8y.org


This page was playing around with the text-shadow decoration.
Kind of a logical extension of the "eclipse" effect on:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/text.html#text-shadow-props

I was surprised that Webkit nightlies did not draw the shadow.  Firefox
nightlies, in comparison do.

In terms of light sources, it'd be intuitive that text coloured "transparent"
shouldn't "cast" a shadow.
But, given this is a decoration, I hope this will be reconsidered.  It's handy
for all sorts of blurred letter
effects.

dhyatt seemed to think it should be.

Thanks!
