| Is anyone else having this mirrored image appear when they go to export instructions?
Bricklink customer service had no fix to this issue. Anyone have a loop hole
or way to work around this??
I made a set for my sisters wedding as a present. We are getting down to the
final month before I need these done....

Hi,
It’s an old bug present only on some macOS machines, only on some versions.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to solve and comes back from time to time.
You can read more on the following threads on the dedicated forum¹ for Studio:

I appreciate you! Unfortunately, only the second link opens for me and the solution
provided won't work. I actually gave that a go a day or so ago with no luck.
My computer won't let me open an older version of Studio (Version 2.1.7_6
and before which is what was mentioned in that forum).
Bummer this happens every so often. Hoping someone has another idea for a workaround
on this!

Yeah, sorry I wasn’t clear: I pointed to the threads so you don’t feel alone
 and for the confirmation of what I was saying (that is, same PC with different
versions of OS _or_ of Studio leads to different results), not for the workaround
(using an older version is not what I call a solution).
Now, trying Early Access or a version or two back may be worth it if you really
have no other solution/computer and must produce a PDF.

If you make a post with your specs (macOS & Studio versions, hardware) in one
of the threads on the Studio forum, I’ll point it to the devs (and make them
cry again, like when the last report came after several months of silence).

So odd, it said I didn't have access before. It worked this go around, ha!
I always appreciate knowing I am not the only one  so that you for that!
I tried downloading multiple of the older versions of 2023. No luck so far.
Here are my specs:
1. MacOS 13.5.1 (22G90)
2. I downloaded the most recent version of Studio to the oldest version from
2023. Deleted and redownloaded each time.
3. MacbookAir8,2
1.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Serial Number (system):FVFZWK4RLYWG
I initially had a customer service thread with Bricklink and they suggested posting
on here to see if anyone else had a solution, haha! I love your perseverance.
Thanks for your help

I've been having the same issue. The ghost outlines only show up when exporting
the instructions but not in the instructions maker in Studio. I've tried
messing with the export settings and using other versions of Studio but the ghost
outlines still show up. I contacted the Studio developer team but they said they
were unable to reproduce the bug on their own computers. I'm currently running
macOS Ventura on a 2017 MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i7 microprocessor.
