Why does the Red Plus sign show up when exporting?

I have noticed recently that the "Red Plus Sign" that shows up when you have overflow text, tends to show up when exporting. Does anyone know why? Seems to be a new bug. Yes, I know I can get rid of the overflow but it is a long story. In case you where wondering.

    Exactly when does it show up?

    After you exported an image and then open it again?

     

    What file format is it and which version of Illustrator?

    Yes, "after" I export to either PNG or JPG. They show up in both when opening to preview and when you insert into a document, like MS Word. See attached example.  Illustrator version 29.4

      Hello @26MainSt,

      Could you please confirm the version of the OS installed and share a sample AI and PNG/JPEG export file along with screenshots of the export setting used, so I can check it on my end?

      Looking forward to hearing from you.

      OS is  Windows 11 Enterprise v22H2 The files you requested are attached. One thing I have noticed is that the Red plus sign does not show up in the export of the first textbox created. Only when I copy and paste using the same textbox does the red plus show up. Hope that makes sense.  Cheers!
