View is blurry if dropshadow is applied even when focused

I have a frame with text in it that uses an imported font Apple SF Pro (Not sure if it matters). When i apply a drop shadow to the frame the text gets blurry like I know its supposed to do for browser performance when not focused. But even though if I focus it or press play to show it in preview mode the text remains blurry.

Do you have a screenshot you could share of the issue? It sounds like a bug, but it’s hard to tell!

Sure. The setup is simple, one board with a text element in. You can see the difference in resolution with and without shadow applied to the board.
I tried with a different font but it didn’t help.
Browser used Safari.

Tried it in Firefox and it works fine there so it’s something with safari. Im using the latest safari 26 btw.

Hey @Linus, thanks for the reporting! The team is working on improving the text issues. Until then, we suggest you to use chrome since it is the most optimize browser to use penpot right now. Thanks again for your contribution :slight_smile:
