junovhs Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I had some templates that were working fine, but after updating recently the gaussian blur layer is causing the symbol layer its applied to to just disappear So i can control whether the below symbol appears simply by toggling the guassian blur layer above on/off and then toggling the Gaussian Blur layer on causes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junovhs Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 a temporary work-around is to un-sync the symbol, and apply an FX gaussian blur instead of a layer, but things get pretty dicey real quick when you've got dozens and dozens of the symbol with as many unsynced variants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junovhs Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 I'm getting the sense maybe the guassian blur adjustment layer was re-written or something? Its behaving completely differently now wherever it is, and glitches follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Dan C Posted March 26, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 26, 2020 Thanks for that, I was expecting this to be an issue with Metal Acceleration on Mac, so it certainly seems as though this may instead be a file specific bug. Could you please upload a copy of your document to the following link for me, then let me know once this has been completed? https://www.dropbox.com/request/wLqkLK5Ke0HxDvT8SyBe Many thanks in advance!

junovhs Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Thanks for the link, I have now uploaded the file. Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted March 31, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 31, 2020 My sincerest apologies for the delayed response Spencer and many thanks for your file! I have determined this issue to be caused by one of your grouped rounded rectangle objects, with the Erase blend mode. As soon as this layer is active/grouped with the Gaussian blur, it causes the rendering issue and the rest of the document disappears. There is also an issue with the Gaussian blur layer which is nested with the semi-transparent vector layer, as this is also a bug with the software. I've logged these as bugs with our developers as it's not something I've come across before. If this object isn't required then I recommend removing it, or alternatively you can subtract it from the larger shape, to avoid using the blend mode at all. I'll send back a 'repaired' version of the file to the email address registered to your forum account - I hope this helps!
