Illustrator exporting other unselected layers

[linas332274]

Hello everyone! I have a weird issue going on, and I would love some help. 

Normally, I'm able to export each layer into .png files but for some reason, when I try to do it today, I keep getting elements of other layers export as well even though it's not selected.

Below, I only have 'Layer 13' with the yellow round circle selected. Everything else is unselected.

Then I go to File > Export > Export As and select PNG options. The preview shows only the yellow circle.

The exported .png file though keeps showing elements from the other layers that I have unselected. 

I've never had this happen so it's super weird. Does anyone know how I can prevent this from happening? Any help would be much appreciated!

That is really weird! Is this happening with the other File > Export options like Export > Save for Web or if you click the asset export button at the bottom of the layers panel? Also, what version are you using?

If something like this happens, I first check if it also happens in other documents.

If so I reset the Preferences:

@Laura Coyle. @Ton Frederiks  thank you both for replying! I ended up recreating a new file and copied over all the layers. That seems to have fixed the issue but it was quite weird. I updated my application also so hopefully this doesn't happen again.

Good to hear you solved it.
