This is a bug with BrowEdit 586. To fix it you will have to restart BrowEdit 586 every time you create a lightbulb that will have its shadows deselected. To go around this, I would highly recommend using the user-defined lightbulbs. Here you can define a lightbulb that already has its cast shadows deselected.

1. Open the file called lights.txt

2. Copy and paste that code in there to create a new bulb and setup the parameters (its pretty straight forward)

3. If you want to use some lights I've defined feel free to use it:

	    <range>200</range>
	    <brightness>127</brightness>

	    <height>10</height>
    </light>
    <light>
	    <color r="0.5" g="0" b="0.5" />
	    <name>purple</name>
	    <range>100</range>
	    <brightness>127</brightness>
	    <maxlight>256</maxlight>
	    <givesshadow>1</givesshadow>
	    <lightfalloff>1</lightfalloff>
	    <height>10</height>
    </light>
   </colors>
</lights>

To access these lightbulbs, all you have to do is go into Light Edit mode and then right click -> Favourites -> Select a light

The lightbulb I use called "Torch" has it's shadows deselected. So simply spawn the bulb and change the parameters around if you want.
