P: Export As causes Smart Objects to move during export

[zagarskas]

Proof of bug: https://www.screencast.com/t/ekno4wgJLzXR

Process

1. Create several artboards
2. Place SMART OBJECTS on the boards with transparrent BG's
3. Export the items using EXPORT AS
4. Select PNG and transparrent bg
5. Change the size from 100% to anything, lock the aspect ratio
6. Items "move" on the artboard - they should not

Hi @zagarskas, thanks for taking the time to bring this up and for making the video. I can confirm the problem is happening for me. Also, PNG will not show transparency for some reason. SVG does, plus there is no “movement” on the board with scaling when SVG is selected. (Windows 10, Photoshop 23.5.1 Release).

There are various alternatives, including legacy export as or scripts such as:
