Has this bug been reported already?
I checked but not deeply and I think no one has talked about this bug yet

Describe the bug
When you export SVG and look at it, the SVG files have the blue border that surrounds clips still stays.
The background also still stays which is kinda annoying.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the bug, if you have them:

  1. Draw anything that has clips in it
    2.click the export button
    3.go to the images tab
    4.click SVG option
    5.look at the SVG

Expected behavior
To export without the blue borders and background

Do you have a suggested solution to this issue? (ex. has another program fixed this bug a certain way? Are you familiar with where in the code base someone would need to fix this issue?)
when it’s in the export menu all the blue clip borders would be hidden

Additional context Optional*
My tools randomly broke shortly after I tried to export it but refreshing the page fixed it

That is because of the way Wick makes SVGs.

Wick uses a library called Paper.js for vectors. Paper.js has a function to turn the project (not related to the actual Wick project) into an SVG file.

When you are in the editor, blue rectangles are put to display bounding boxes of clips; you can disable them with the 9 key.

TLDR: Disable the boxes in the editor (with the 9 key) and export the SVG again.
