Missing Pixels on Vector Text and Vector shape????

[desktop.surgeon]

I'm really confused as to what happened here, just normal text for a community paper header I whipped up, and a rectangle shape, but I noticed it translated in the exported .png too. Even stranger, there's an alternate text version that is otherwise identical at the top that doesn't feature this degradation. 

Not a huge upset to my design, just going to swap the text out in the other drafted version, but really curious as to why/how it happened????

Hey @desktop.surgeon, 

Welcome to the community! That is indeed a strange issue. Could you please share a screenshot of your entire workspace with layers open? If possible, the PSD would be super helpful. You can PM the file. : ) Thank you!

Did the Type layer have a Mask?

Are there layers above the Type layer that might have content? (Opt click the Type layer's Eye icon to turn off all other layers)

Cmd click the Type layer and zoom in on the artefact to see if it is showing Marchin Ants.

Fill a layer beneath the Type layer with a bright colour (Red) to see if the type has a hole.

Save out to PNG or JPG and open in Preview to see if the artefact is there, or was a GPU glitch.  (it doesn't look a glitch to me)

Hey all, resolved this issue myself- there was a logo transparency that had some stray pixels super far away from the image itself that were overlapping onto the header. Fixed the logo file and now it's all good!!
