Question

Illustrator Export SVG with "Use Artboard" not cropping content

I’ve been using Export As → Use Artboard frequently to export SVG, but somehow today when I tried to export, contents outside of the artboard also kept getting included in the exported files. I tried Trim View and exporting JPG, and both showed the correct output. The only issue seemed to be with exporting SVG. 

In the Export for Screens view, I also unchecked “Include Bleeds”, but faced the same problem.

What could’ve caused this? Is it due to some corrupted settings? Or somehow the layer not being cropped is mis-configured? (Though I don’t know why that would only affect SVG export...)

    I can confirm that if I am exporting SVG the object that have outside artboard not included in exported SVG, but obj that is partly included in artbord has been exported fully. Here is Illustrator scene capture

    Which version of Illustrator is it?

    Which viewer are you using to check the SVG?

    It was v30.1 

    Regarding viewers, do you mean how I open the SVG files once exported? I checked in both Illustrator and Safari.
