Hello, I've ran into problem with bounding box, which doesn't match with the edge of a shape, as you can see in a screenshot nr 1.

It causes an unsatisfactory result after exporting selection in PNG format.

Where can be the problem and how to fix it?

Im working not on artboard, but in "grey zone" and then exporting the selection. Size is 1640x624 px, coordinates upper left X: 316,424 Y: 1490,7427

There is another problem. After I crop the image, it adds a white stroke on 1-2 edges:

So it looks like it is a bug in my Illustrator, I should reinstall or something.

Please change the X/Y coordinates to round numbers, fractional values will lead to rounding and can cause additional pixels. Cropping images can also introduce white pixels. Use clipping masks instead of cropping.

I have the same problem but it doesn’t work for me. See XY coordinates.

Zoom is set to 6400. I need to make it seamless for a pattern. Does anyone have any ideas?

Try setting your units to pixels (right click in the Ruler), mm do not translate very well to rounded pixels.

Double click the Pattern and check the size in pixels in the Pattern maker.

How much are you zoomed in?

Does changing Preview help? (Cmd or Ctrl E)

Is this a large document file?

I need to zoom in almost maximum in order to see the mismatch. But the artwork after exporting looks like this (has strokes around):

In preview mode everything is fine, but the export is still broken.

Can you post a screenshot of the appearance panel alongside your artwork when it happens? Just in case there's something we've missed (a stroke hidden somewhere, an effect of some kind etc...)
Also, just to make sure, can you check you haven't got the snap to pixel ticked in the view menu?
