If I export a frame as an SVG, Figma adds a phantom rect element to the file that is not in the design.
 


Note if it helps troubleshoot: the bug doesn’t happen if you go to SVG export settings and check “Ignore overlapping layers”.

 

Please stop adding elements that shouldn’t be there; this is causing render artifacts for some of our products.

Hey ​@Brian_Olson, thanks for flagging this! 

Be sure to uncheck Show in exports for Fill to prevent the rectangle from being added to your SVG export.

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a try. Unfortunately, the phantom rect is there regardless of whether I have “Show in exports” checked in the frame’s fill settings.


Thanks for following up, ​@Brian_Olson

Noted. This is definitely not expected behavior in that case. I’ll send this over to the team to investigate. 


Thanks, dvaliao!
