Strokes inside symbols don't show correctly when exported as a png
Here's a problem that I've noticed a number of times. It seems to happen intermittently and the really annoying thing is that it doesn't show up in Illustrator, only in exported png images.
Strokes within symbols don't always display correctly when they are exported as a png. It seems to happen when the symbol is rotated or scaled. It doesn't always happen. I can't work out what specifically makes this happen or not happen. It's only a problem on static symbols rather than dynamic symbols. Static symbols are generally better suited to my workflow.
A short video to show the process:

Rotate 180 degrees and scale up or down.
This happens with Static Symbols, if you change the type to Dynamic Symbol it works as expected.
Something maybe related;
If a Dynamic Symbol is scaled without Scale Strokes option, it does not scale the stroke.
If a StaticSymbol is scaled without Scale Strokes option, it will scale the stroke.
