Strange effects on Exported PDF (Unreliable Export)

[Aaron Martin]

Hi.

I wanna report a bug when exporting a file after applying effect on shapes that has other shapes inside them, to PDF (either flatten or for export)

After exporting a file to PDF. It shows some strange shapes on the file. 

Attachment below showcases the bug.

Hi Aaron Martin,

Could you attach the offending afdesign file, along with the PDF settings you were using to export so we can investigate the issue please.

Thanks for the file. I've reproduced the issue and passed it on to development. In the meantime you could create a rasterised copy and hide the original (if you ever need to tweak it) and that will stop the issue appearing on export to PDF. Alternatively removing the HSL Shift adjustment will also stop it happening (its causing the whole thing to get rasterised).

Yes. Im aware of the workaround. But nevertheless this is a bug that effects a workflow and requires one more detailed checking for such mistakes which does not show either on affinity or preflight and just pops up as a surprise when the work is done and final.
