Affinity Publisher v2, strange boxes after export, after latest update

[diwatamnl]

Hello! I was trying to work on a project and when I opened it after installing the latest update, there's these strange boxes of color both before and after exporting. they're not supposed to be there.

here's what it looks like after export.

here's what it looks like while opening the file. 

I don't really understand what's happening!

Hey @diwatamnl, welcome to the forums!

Would you be able to attach the file or upload it here (if you'd prefer to keep it private).

I'll open the file in 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 and see if I get this box appear

Thanks

I uploaded it to the link, thank you! I appreciate the help!

Thanks for that, the issue with that image is also present on 2.6.2 for me so it doesn't look unique to the beta, that embedded bmp (If you open resource manager it's called Image.bmp) seems to be partially corrupt (it renders the corruption at certain zoom levels so maybe that was why it wasn't seen before), or missing some data which is causing the issue.

It's embedded and looks like it potentially came from your clipboard, do you have that image still, or can you look at downloading it and replace the embedded version with it again?

I can definitely try that! I'll be off on a trip for a few days so I wont be able to do this until after, but thank you so much for getting back to me for this.

Update! I managed to sneak in some time to follow your advice of changing out the image and replacing it. It fixed the problem! Thank you so much. This was great.

Hi again @Jon P I'm back with some new exporting shenanigans. 
After exporting, there's these weird lines that appear for certain parts that shouldnt be there.

They're definitely not supposed to be there, nor are they on any layers of the pages.

Is there anything strange going on in my file?

Would absolutely appreciate the help again.

Based on the location and colour of the lines I would look at the decoration, may be something to do with how it is masked. Or how it is coloured. Or some other thing to do with it.

I thought that, too, but there's nothing in the element that would create those lines.

You are welcome to save as a package and I can take another look and see if I can reproduce it, the above link should still be active.

If you replace the svg with itself in Resource Manager does that help?

I won't be able to check with replacing the svg right now but I've uploaded the package file. here, too, is a link to a drive with the files in it. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DQVxejEeXCbrhXzkVYsVwaA_U_NwPyF-?usp=drive_link

That line is coming from the svg itself, if you zoom in within your document you can see it. I would advise re exporting that SVG out from what created it, potentially just as a PNG instead, as all the SVG seems to contain is a base64 image that's clipped, which I believe is causing that line to appear
