Drop Shadow, Outer Glow, Etc. renders incorrectly on large polygons angled lines only.
When I make a drop shadow, outer glow etc. there are places on the shadow that end abruptly in intervals. I make a triangle or any polygon (even a rectangle that is rotated). Go to Effect>Illustrtator Effect>Stylize>Drop Shadow. Multiply:75%:0":0":0.5". Color Black. I've tried other colors and other settings for Blur and Mode. This does the exact same thing using Outer Glow. I have a 66" x 36" artboard on the examples below.
Windows 10 - Illustrator v.24.0.1

Still not working in 2025 version 29.0. Coming up on 5 years since the original post.

Still not working in 28.5. That seems like a long time. Since 24.0.1 and probably before.

I'm having a similar problem using two outer glow effects on a big circle, see attachment. Version 28.5 on macOS.

It used to be messed up in InDesign back in July 2021, but I tried it again and it seems to be fixed. I can save it as a PDF in InDesign and bring it into Illustrator, but that adds more steps and is kind of a pain. At least I have a workaround now.

Here is a JPEG of what I see and print in case the AI file doesn't give you the error.

Not working correctly in 27.8.1. Disabling GPU doesn't affect it.

Brad, Damian, does it help to disable GPU mode?
If it does — can you please provide the exact full spec of your machine?
OS build, GPU model, driver version?
Please also provide the actual test file in the .ai format, so the team can try to replicate the issue on their side and see what is wrong? -

Still not fixed... 27.8.1
Why are we paying a monthly subscription if your BASIC effects don't even operate correctly?
3 years and counting...
