I want to save a file in Inkscape to the EPS format but when I do, some of the lines/object borders end up out of place, like they've been cut out and put back in the slightly wrong position.

See the problem here: https://ibb.co/b3gK9jV

Is there a solution to this?

That looks more like a render glitch. Can you upload a screenshot that shows the actual nodes?

Yes, here it is:

Looks fine here:

Can you open the SVG in a browser of your choice?

Yeah, I managed to fix it by removing the highlight shape so I've found the cause.

Any idea on the solution?

Edit: Its the transparency that's causing the issue. If I set the alpha to 100 on the highlights the problem is fixed. But it's not ideal, I want to use alpha if possible.

Can you please check this file?

Thanks for your replies PixelPest, I think the best way for me to proceed is to simply not use alpha transparency for objects I will be exporting to EPS.

Why in the world do you need ancient EPS?

But as you can see it works nonetheless: Transparency areas will be rasterized of course:

Because I want to sell vector graphics on Shutter Stock and they require the EPS format, for some reason.
