Improved Gradients Not Exporting Properly

I'm running into an issue with the improved Gradients when exporting a jpg through the export panel when using multiple gradients and artboards.
The preview and the exported image is not reflective of the gradient in the actual photoshop file.

I haven't been able to pinpoint the problem yet, but it seems that the gradient handles align themselves with the edges of all artboards, rather than just the artboard they are placed on.

Since another bug report was marked as "solved" despite there not being a solution, I am opening this new report to keep the communication channels open.

Currently tested version: PS 25.3.1 as of Jan 23, 2024. This has been the case since the introduction of the improved Gradients in 2023.

Reproduction steps: At least 2 artboards, at least 1 improved gradient, export as jpg or PNG.

Dear Adobe employers, do the following: Select your new Gradient Tool, then right click, and DELETE IT!! Please, leave things as they where working. As Carlos Sainz says: "Stop Inventing".

Yes, rasterizing the gradient does indeed work around the export issue.

However, since this bug only surfaced with the introduction of the "new gradients", and the primary feature of these "new gradients" is that you can keep editing them, this workaround completely negates the "new gradients" feature. It's been our only option for the last year, unfortunately.

Can confirm that rasterizing the gradient layer resolves this export issue

Seems that there is a workaround that I've found in a different post, if you flatten your image in the layers panel and then export it it should work, just posting this here so if people find this they can at least have a workaround until they fix it

I'm having the same problems as well. The only thing that's changed for me in the past 24 hours is I've rebooted my computer. That's when the problem started.
