Description
I'd created an animation and saved the file.
I've tried to export it as gif, but it fails with an error: "Invalid file data".
If I do the same process with the web based version, it runs flawless.
Desktop:
- OS: Arch Linux
- Desktop Environment: KDE plasma 6.7.5
- Browser Firefox
- Browser Version 156.0
- draw.io version 31.4.5
