Symbols in SVG-export flip vertically
Windows 10, 25.3.1, 64 bit,
File/Save as/SVG
I have Symbols, yes, it's a symbol-library for the web, saving them as svg (which is best for editing them further) flips the y-axis.
This problem was described first in 2014:

Still, no change to this!

I understand that the symbols exported to SVG via File/Save as/SVG are visually correct but the resulting SVG has transforms and viewBoxes in the markup that you'd like to avoid.
As a temporary workaround, please use File > Export > SVG (or Asset Export).
