Symbol mangling when exporting into svg
I see an incorrect result when exporting into SVG through File -> Export -> Export As... -> save as SVG. I have two gradient filled rectangles presented as symbols (see .ai inside the attached .zip), one is blue gradient and the other is gray gradient. When export into svg, the resulting image shows both rectangles filled with gray gradient (see .svg inside the .zip).
It looks like AI thinks both symbols are visually the same an merges them into a single symbol. If i use solid colors, this doesn't happen.
As for SVG options see 'svg_options.png' inside the .zip.
Check 'system_info.txt' inside the .zip for system info.
NOTE: Change the attached file's extension to .zip to extract the related files.
