Negative crop for text boxes

[Swizzler]

I've run into an issue with OBS, I'm using OBS to render a text file, and using a StreamFX filter to render a drop shadow, the problem is the blur filter doesn't extend the bounding box of the text, and I don't think I'd want it to because I'd have to manually re-position text if it did. All I really need is the ability to extend the render area of the text, without affecting the positioning of the text. So if you were allowed to add negative crop (IE Padding) to text items, this would resolve my issue. If there is a way to do this now with the text object, please let me know. I thought "object size" in edit transform would do this, but it appears to do nothing, and Bounding Box size edits the size of the object (it feels like these items should be flipped)

I know you could cludge together something using the browser element and CSS to do the shadow, but that won't work for my use.

The OBS Crop/Pad filter can be used to extend (pad) the size of a source independently on each side prior to applying effect filters that spill outside of the original source such as blurs, borders, drop shadows, etc. To be clear, I mean the actual Crop/Pad filter in the Filters menu, and not the Transform dialogue box crop which is applied after all filters are applied.
