The shadow editor tool does not show up for filter: drop-shadow()

[codepo8]

When entering a box-shadow or text-shadow I get the icon to use the shadow editor, but using:

element {
   filter: drop-shadow(2px 2px 10px #000);
}

Does not trigger it. Given that drop-shadow works much better for images with transparency, it should also trigger the icon.

I also have a lot of UI related issues with MS Edge but I'm sure the day will come when the entire world would say that edge is the best Browser ever created by Microsoft, like Title bar resize and rounded to rectangular and much more like search or Alt+D shortcut to write or search into the Omnibox is not fully functional and much more.
