Beginners' Questions Black lines around transparent pattern tile (not stroke lines)

    I'm pretty new to Inkscape, and cannot find any online tutorials for the problem I've encountered:

    > I traced the bitmap of a single colorย png image and, as far as I know, cleaned it up well, then made an even pattern tile that should be able to repeat seamlessly.

    > I have already tested my pattern the only way I know howย by exporting as a PNG, and the lines didn't go away.

    > I have turned off the stroke around each tile and lined them up with the snap toggled both off and on.

    > I've tried making really thin strokes so they disappear after exporting, but to no avail.ย 

    > I also started the pattern from scratch.

    > I need the pattern to be on a gradient background.

    I am using Inkscape 1.1.2. Please help!

    Actually, it *is* stroke lines.

    Note the stroke on the path 3064, the pattern basis.

    I copied one rectangle from the original file and pasted into a new document, then used Pattern to Object.

    Pattern with stroke removed.

    Also some bad mojo in the original, making an invalid SVG.ย  I'd copy the good bits to a new document.

    Awesome! That helps a lot, I didn't realize I could look under layers and objects. Thank you so much for the quick response
