    The instructions are extremely simple and located in my first post at the top of this thread. I'll just copy and paste and add the file as an attachment to the e-mail address you provided. As a reminder from one of my follow up posts, It doesn't matter whether I use "Save As…" or "Export As…", I get the same result. AI will generate an SVG containing the gradient, but any subsequent SVG creation, of the same file, using either saving options noted above, will generate a file with the gradient missing.

    Hi Egor,
    I missed your message regarding my sending you my AI file via e-mail. To speed things up, can someone just download the AI file I uploaded and follow my simple instructions on how to reproduce the SVG export issue?

    Hi Egor. Any updates on this SVG exporting bug? It can be reproduced very easily. I'm hoping, by now, you've been able to reproduce it.

    Hi Egor,

    This bug reporting system is very strange and one gets the impression Adobe hasn't put much time into it or you need to fire your service provider. I was looking for a reply button below your response, but couldn't find one. So, I'm hoping this reply makes it to you.

    I used Export and Save As and got the same results. AI will create a perfect SVG the first attempt, but will remove the gradient upon the second and subsequent attempts. If I close the file and reopen it, AI will, again create a perfect SVG the first time only. I believe the issue relates to a Freeform (line-based) gradient. The reason I state this is because I have an AI file that I broke up into separate background and foreground files so I could make an object animate upwards between these 2 files as layers on a website I'm creating. The AI file and corresponding SVG within the attached ZIP archive is the foreground layer containing the Freeform gradient. The background file contains a radial gradient and AI can generate a correct SVG every time.

    I've attached a ZIP archive containing a screenshot of my Export SVG settings. My Save As settings are the same.
