Center align not working after multi-select update?

Hi there,

Thanks for flagging. I’m checking with our internal team. I will get back to you when I have anything I can share with you.

Thanks for your patience.

Pretty sure this is reproducible 100% of the time when selecting two objects with different parent frames. Selecting text from a section and a frame from outside the section now has different alignment behavior than before — and different behavior than when you select two things in the same parent. Hopefully it’s a bug.

Hi all @yuukun @mmmm

Thanks for flagging! Our engineering team confirmed that it was a bug and it should be fixed now.

Could you reload the tab and try this again?

If the issue persists, please let me know!

Thanks,

It’s fixed now—I’m actually impressed at the response time. Thanks!

Thanks for confirming quickly! Please let us know if there’re any issues:) We’ll do our best to fix.

Thanks,

Hi, It’s still a problem for me too.

Thanks for getting back! Yeah it looks odd to me too and I’ve shared this behavior with our internal team. I’ve found an existing post about this, so let me merge this into the existing one. Thanks!

Hello, Im still having the same issue with the align of two objects on different frames. It’s not solved.

Hello , I am still having the issue when centering objects or texts across multiple frames. It used to work flawlessly before.

@Marite_Sganga @Aswnss Just to cover all bases, can you answer some questions for me?

First: are you seeing this behavior on both the Figma website and desktop app? If it’s on both, is it only specific files you have this issue with?

Have you completely quit/restarted the app or browser to see if it’s still a problem?

[Also if anyone else is still having a problem, please feel free to drop a reply here too]

The problem of aligning multiple objects located within different frames is discussed here.

Hello, Im only using Figma through the app. On mac Ventura. And did all the quit restart and it’s not solved.
Here an example: you select 2 images on different frames, then press Align Left and the second image is how the align left works.

Thanks @chyn_N!

@Marite_Sganga – I’m going to recommend everyone refer to the topic @chyn_N posted above for any additional updates. I’m going to tentatively close this topic so we can keep everything in one place. I’ll reopen if this ends up moving away from that investigation.
