Closing as won't fix. As per the release notes:

[quote:2i67y5bs]Avoid placing radius-based lights very close to, or even over, shadow caster objects. The algorithm can fail to render a full shadow in this case.

Does this mean we can't pin the light to the playable character then?

That's a shame as we then can't use it for maze type games.

...and sometimes the final part of the shadow is cut and don't reach the end of the layout
