It’s likely you have some open/overlapping points in your file or that a couple of them have their bezier handles extended. What design program are you using?
Great - select the individual anchor points one at a time with the white direct selection arrow and see if any of them have bezier handles that look like they’re silly long. You might have to toggle visibility with ctrl/cmd+h.
Sometimes it can help to bump up the stroke size to something ridiculous to spot the offending point or the opposite -viewing in outline mode ctrl/cmd+y.
If all else fails, I have a live paint trick that always gets a functioning file. Lmk if you need it.
OMG! Thank you! I have been using Adobe since 1994 and know so much about using bezier, but I wasn’t aware of this potential issue with regards to svg files. You rock! I will let you know it works out.
