Adobe now recommends uploading single icons as SVG files, but there is a glitch happening when I do. After submitting, everything appears OK, but after some time, something behind the scenes messes with the file. The file includes editable strokes and it gets filled in and is a total mess... see attachments.

I could outline the strokes, but then the line weight can't be adjusted. I could submit AI files, but that's less useful for developers.

Contacted support twice, haven't heard back after 3 weeks.

Anyone else having issues, or ideas on what to do?

All strokes should be outlined. This is a standard requirement for submitted vectors at most (if not all) agencies. And yes, it reduces editability, but it prevents unintended issues with the artwork not being displayed correctly, when for instance resizing the artwork.

It's not a standard requirement. I upload to many agencies, and have for many years. Iconfinder, for example, does not require outlined strokes. I've also supplied icon sets (16+ icons) to Adobe with editable strokes.

Fully understand about the pros and cons of outlining, but as a designer I want to be able to edit and change the stroke weight, and have had many people ask for them to be supplied that way.

Adobe says here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/vector-requirements.html

Follow these best practices:
- Outline all strokes as paths or shapes.

I don't know about Iconfinder and similar agencies, YMMV. Perhaps there are some exceptions, it could be agencies have loosened up their requirements over the years.
I do understand where you're coming from regarding editability, maybe simple icons are the exception to the rule.

Thanks, I missed that. It's weird though, it shows up as expected... and then after a few hours it changes. So it initially generates the preview as expected, then it does something to it.

Who knows. If I don't hear from them I might just outline them.
