    WHY WHY WHY?????!!!!

    I DO NOT NOT NOT KNOW!!!! ;) A bit more information would be nice to get you a solution. What application are you using? What were your export settings? What DPI are you using. Exporting as a raster image can be tricky, if the image is not positioned pixel perfect or the image has dimensions like 500,25 x 1000,37834 px, just to name two pitfalls. Best case would be, if you upload a ZIP containing your Affinity document and what exported so far, so others can have a look as well.

    Do you know of any other programs or methods that I can open the EPS file in and convert to SVG preserving the layers?

    Saving as AI (with PDF stream) or PDF preserves the layers. So if you do not have thousands of files this would be a way to go. And maybe you saved the PDF stream in your AI files unintentionally as this would mean an extra click to remove this option (at least on Windows).

    I had to delete them one-by-one as I couldn’t find a way to select them all and delete.

    There are not many locations in the Affinities where you can select multiple "items" and delete them in one go.

    Option 1: Make a keyboard shortcut for Delete Anchor, mark the text in the text frame and hit the keyboard shortcut over and over again.

    Option 2: Export as PDF with no bookmarks and open the PDF in APu.

    Nothing really helpful for you I fear.

    I'll experiment some more later.

    I did this for you. First time I exported the document I had pure luck, that the squares were inside the white area. Exporting the document again showed the squares also for me.

    Turning off the B&W adjustment showed me a strange effect on the Blur layer (see image), so I re-arranged the layers a bit and had no squares. Fixed document attached.

    Wo kann ich danach bzw. beim Exportieren diese Größe einsehen und ggf. kontrollieren?

    Veränderst du denn etwas bei den Abmessungen? Wenn nicht, dann bleiben die Abmessungen bestehen. Kontrollieren kannst du das über Layoutseite einrichten. Bei PSD, PDF, SVG, WMF und EPS kannst du die Abmessungen beim Export nicht verändern (da werden die Abmessungen der Datei übernommen), bei allen anderen Formaten schon. Standardmäßig ist bei den anderen Formaten aber die Originalgröße eingestellt und bei Bedarf können die Abmessungen im Export-Dialog verändert werden.

    however the code should really fall back and export those complex fill elements as a bitmap/pixel layer instead rather than fail altogether

    I would like to disagree. The user made everything vector based and so the user expects vectors in the output. If there is something pushing Affinity to its limits or exceeding its limits, then there should be an understandable warning, pointing to the problem. Instead of simply saying "file could not be exported". I am not a programmer, but somewhere an error was catched in order to issue the warning, so is it impossible to tell why the export failed? Would this message be too technical? What about an error number like 111 (too complex gradient), 192 (image with wrong ICC profile) and a list where users can look up the cause?
