Expanding a Repeater pattern

[Pat]

I've got a patter that I'd like to keep as it is:

but when I expand it:

the objects change shape. What do I miss ?

@Pat Not sure what could cause this. Can you send me the file with the example (before being expanded).

@VectorStyler File sent Could you also test svg & pdf export? The result are not great.
Thanks

@Pat Got it. The workaround for the repeater expand is to use first a Convert to Curves (to flatten the scaling) and then do the expand. I will fix this

There is some bug with the PDF export of the blends (probably the gradient on stroke) I opened a bug on this also.
