I noticed I had to add a transparancy layer otherwise the menuitem is disabled.
In the screencast a transparancy layer is present. Nonetheless, how do I get it to draw?
The other example is unclear to me (btw. I run Win10, not Ubuntu)
(excuse my ignorance, I would not bother this forum but I guess the legacy Drop Shadow will be obsolete and removed in a future release)
Not clear from your animation since the layers dialogue is not shown.
You need to create your drawing on a transparent layer, not a solid (white) layer. The problem is you are making a selection. Try the GEGL filter without a selection.
In this case, there is no difference between Windows and linux
There is no indication that the legacy drop shadow will go. Keep using it as long as it is there. The advantage of the GEGL filter is you see exactly what the drop shadow looks like before it is applied.
