Affinity Designer: Export selection with stroke saves with padding.

[JohnnyFactor]

Exporting a selection that has a stroke always leaves padding around the object. If I export a 512px PNG or JPG, the object will be shrunk down to about 430px and will have a white/transparent border around it. I saw this was acknowledged as a bug about 2 years ago, so I wonder why I'm encountering this.

This is still an outstanding issue, I'll bump the post with the developers.

I don't think my issue is exactly the same as the OP, but close enough.  When I export shapes that I have drawn with the Pen tool, (export SELECTION as PNG), there is a bunch of blank space around the image, and I have to crop it before using in my dev work.  In contrast to the OP, the shape is the correct size (40px x 40px), but the resulting PNG is 84x84px.  Is this really still an outstanding bug? 

First image is export from Designer; second is what I expect, and what I get after cutting out the transparent padding using Photoscape X.

Please supply your original .afdesign document, and confirm what release/version of Designer you're using.

Did you see this post ? apparently they have that bug tracked, but in my case it was a little different I guess, since it was with the outlined shapes.

Yeah, @Xakiru, I saw your post as well.  Wasn't sure which thread it belonged in, but in this thread, it was supposedly being bumped up to the dev team in 2018, if it is indeed, the same bug.  Could be user error though, so wanted to confirm first.

@walt.farrell, I'm using 1.10.6.  File attached.

Thanks!

I don't think it's the same bug as @Xakiru mentioned, as their bug involved using FX, which yours doesn't as far as I can see. Nor do I think it is the same as the original bug that started this topic, but I can't be sure as the earlier report it references is now hidden.

Perhaps @Lee D will comment further.

Thanks for supplying the file.
