    Wow, solid tip, thanks!

    Adding that approach to my toolbox. 👇

    The other post is indeed the same problem as the one I brought up in this one.

    I have tried your suggestion of Reversing the Path Direction. Attached screenshot shows the result, which also doesn't solve it unfortunately. Thank you in any case, Egor!

    One slightly hacky workaround I found in the meantime is:
    - Group the elements you want to Reflect
    - Object > Repeat > Mirror
    - Move the group a slight distance away from the mirror line, then leave Isolation Mode
    - Mask the mirrored image

    A few potential downsides with this approach:
    - Making changes requires you to go back to the unmirrored artwork - making it a very indirect workflow.
    - Mirror effect can be quite heavy with large detailed artworks.
