The Inverted Silkscreen dissapears when exporting a Gerber from the Kicad project. This is a Issue with Kicad not our viewer.

I imported the .kicad_pcb file, not the Gerber file.

Update: If I use the “push to aisler” plugin it works perfect.

Does this now mean that it is a kicad problem? Is this problem known to the kicad-team?

After upload we are always generate a Gerber from the EDA files for creating the panels. What you see in the viewer is 1:1 the Gerber file which will be put on the panel for production.
I just checked my Kicad Version and its the release build from Kicad 7 so maybe it was an Issue which was fixed in the meantime.

I will look into it.

This is Indeed a Issue which was fixed with the newest update.
