P: Gradient Fill and Artboards

I hoped 23.4.1 would have fixed this, alas, it's not. I hope this bug is not burried in the backlog for six more years. Anyway, for what it's worth I did further digging. Here are my findings.

Base document: one artboard with one simple gradient layer (notice that the scale is set at 100%)

Now, I created an artboard by selecting its name in the layer panel and clicking the plus sign under the initial artboard. I then created a gradient layer on this new artboard. Look at the scale, look at the gradient aspect. Notice something different?

I then tried a first export (using File > Export > Arboards to files…) here's the result:

Right! You got it, the export is "correct" according to the values, its the view inside Photoshop that is broken. That can be verified by setting a value for an acceptable visual match:

which gives the exports:

The same behavior occurs if I duplicate the original artboard by right-clicking on its name on the layer panel and selecting duplicate:

To summarize: there's a mismatch between the values of scale/position of the gradient layer and what is shown in the Photoshop UI. Which leads to correcting those values to make it visually acceptable, but breaks the export since it's using the values and not the preview.

PLEASE FIX THIS!

@Earth Oliver Here's the screenshot setting. Not sure that's the reason…

@MrGlennJones thanks for the advice, I also can flatten the image, but it's only a workaroud, the feature is broken.

For what it's worth the example I've shown in my previous post is the third (and last) artboard of my document. They are vertically stacked.

@gregseth how about a screenshot of your Export settings?

Thanks MrGlennJones, I converted my gradient layers to Smart Objects and artboard images exported fine.

So it wasn't. How to be sure that bugs are properly reported (or filed, or tagged, … whatever)?
