I am unable to post a screenshot.  This forum will not allow it.

Few things to check (red arrows),
Also, is you layer in the layer stack in "normal" mode?

Your screen is completely different than mine.  I have tried all the blending modes.  Sometimes ring works other times it does not.  I just did two different text boxes the only difference was the font was slightly smaller in the second one and no drop shadow in the second one.  But I get one in the first.  It randomly works on occasions.  It used to work all the time.  I have not updated GIMP.  The last time I did was when the drop shadows stopped working.  Then they started working again.  And now they have stopped working again.  I think I need to go back to an earlier version where drop shadows worked.
