Stop adding rects to SVGs that don't exist in the design

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.
