Grouping text and shadow loses blur
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/44a34777e09dd2c04b1a48aa46a6524f.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I am trying to take a piece of text, make a white copy to make a shadow which I have slightly blurred with the Object Fill and Stroke tool, but when I select one, hold down the shift key to have both selected, then Group them, the white shadow loses it blur.
What am I missing? Thanks!

It's a known bug in Inkscape:
Bug #243729 “Grouping blurred text removes blur”: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/243729
reported workarounds: a) move the group and then move it back b) move the group and then undo (Ctrl+Z)
