Challenge 2: A Drop Shadow Disappearing Near a Frame's Edge — Solution Walkthrough The answer: Per this chapter's own warning box, a Frame clips its own contents to its boundary by default. When the button sits close to the edge of its parent Frame, the shadow — which visually extends slightly beyond the button's own shape — gets cut off by that clipping boundary the moment it crosses the Frame's edge, rather than showing as a natural overflow the way it might on a plain artboard. Why this is easy to miss: The button itself still looks correct, since only the shadow (which extends past the button's own visible bounds) is being clipped. This makes the disappearance easy to misdiagnose as a shadow-setting problem rather than a clipping-boundary problem, since the actual shadow effect settings likely haven't changed at all. What actually fixes it: Checking the parent Frame's own clipping/overflow setting — and either disabling clipping for this Frame or giving the button enough margin from the Frame's edge — resolves the disappearing shadow without needing to touch the shadow effect itself. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ This exercise checks that unexpected content disappearing near a Frame's edge is correctly traced back to default clipping behavior, not a problem with the effect or element itself.
