Exporting ai to jpg doesn't show all items

In Illustrator I use a symbol which consists of a red circle with a white edge. On top of such a symbol I place a number.

When exporting the ai to a jpg the number won't show. When I use a regular red circle with a white edge the number on top shows correct in the jpg.

Is this a bug that things placed on top of a symbol don't show in the jpg ?

When saving as a pdf things go correct.

I understand where the small size came from. The disappearing objects on export as jpeg is a recent introduced bug.

Instead of changing your dynamic symbols to static, you can also use File > Export for Screens, which does not have that problem.

Carol, I have reported it as a bug, here:

Thanks. I haven't mentioned it in my messages before but it worked properly some months ago. So I think your conclusion about the versions is probably right. I will change the symbols to "static" to see if this will solve the issue.

Also, fyi, regarding the very small size. This is because the "numbers on circles" are part of a large map. I deleted all the layers and other items to isolate the problem.
