Light streaks on top of shadows |

This is a crop of a bigger collage project and I'm having a problem with shadows. You can see that I tried having an image with a border around it and shadows on all sides, but at the edge of the border, a white streak appears which ruins the shadow, I have no idea what causes this and it makes the whole project look REALLY bad, I have no transparency on the image layer, nor on the border layer, it's all full opacity, I even tried removing the alpha transparency all together from the layer menu, it didn't help, trying to cover the white area with a bigger border didn't help either...please help me, having these shadows would make the whole thing look 10000 times better as it's a HUGE image (18500x18500)
This is what I see if I zoom in:
also, downscaling the project makes this white stuff become even bigger
PLEASE HELP WITHIN A FEW DAYS IF YOU CAN I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVER
I also found out that even removing the image in the middle completely STILL doesn't help
Even trying to add more shadow myself using the brush tool with black at 30% opacity isn't doing anything, it adds more to the shadow, but with no effect near that edge

Type-over text on image |

If one must type-over text on an image with a 1 colour background and want to hide the old text then one can do this as follow:
- type-over the old text
- fill the text box with the background colour
- the old text is now hidden and only the new text is visible
Easy!

Issues with known valid characters displaying as rectangles sometimes and not others |

HELP! About 4 days ago, my GIMP began displaying the characters in various part of the user interface as rectangles. It happens in popup UI windows a few other places, like in rulers, the popup descriptions for menu items and on the main splash screen while coming up. Menus and sub-menus are fine. My best guess is that it happens for any variable text. At this point GIMP is virtually unusable.
This happened when I brought up GIMP 2.10.8 after having brought it up with no problems 3-4 times a week for several months. To my knowledge I didn't update anything relevant anywhere else.
I tried cleaning up AppData\Local\fontconfig\cache. I uninstalled GIMP 2.10.8 and installed 2.10.12. No improvement.
I am running on a 64-bit Windows 7. I'm not too sophisticated. I am a GIMP user and have been for 4 trouble-free years.
Any suggestions?

Changing Watermark opacity in Gimp 2.10 |

Having successfully used Gimp to recover a couple of thousand elderly pages for
archiving - and my thanks to Ofnuts for his help on this project - I now need to
watermark them before the archive goes on line.
Have read several tutorials about watermarks using Gimp, and made progress
towards a batch operation - except for adjusting the watermark opacity. There was
a tool for changing opacity in earlier versions of Gimp - where is it in 2.10 please,
or has the procedure changed?
Thanks,
Tuxford.
