Same problem in IE8 on Windows 7. Actually, I have a very high res screen, so I keep IE zoomed at 150%, and the drop shadow is really bad at that zoom level. If I take the zoom back to 100%, I don't notice much problem, though the text is nearly too small for me to read comfortably at that point. Actually, even if I zoom out (e.g., 75%), I notice the drop shadow again. So, mostly a problem when not zoomed to exactly 100%.
Can't test it on Chrome because the color-coded code doesn't work at all for me on Chrome (I just get the basic text box -- no "Toggle editor" option). Do I need an extension for it to work in Chrome?
