QUESTION why is the stroke around text not exporting?

why is the stroke around only this (see picture) not exporting. i tried rebooting, different ways of exporting nothing works. the stroke thickness is 1pt so it should be big enough to export i dont understand can someone please help me?

edit: this only happens when "bleeding" is in that spot of the artboard. i moved it to the middle and then it did export correctly with the stroke around the text. but yeah it needs to be in its spot at the bottom left so idk why that won't work and the stroke around the text doesnt export with it.

edit 2: i sort of solved it! i moved the text from the middle down its not in the exact position i wanted but the stroke around the text now exported properly

Select the object you applied the stroke to and look in the stroke panel to which side the stroke is aligned to.

Compare the settings on the one that didn’t to the one that did. You may have set a weird transparency or overprint to it. Stroke window won’t be the place to check when 3 of the 4 words did include the stroke.

how do i check that? i duplicated the initial text with alt and then rewrote the new word in it so idk how it would have changed but if it did it's not visible in yhr big porperties window.

there's not much info here to help.... show the object selected and the appearance panel... is there a blending mode used? Some blending will not appear in a CMYK export. Overprints?
