Potential Bug: Share button not linking to the frame that has been selected

Question

My team have been having issues with Figma’s share functionality not linking to the Frame that has been selected before hitting ‘Share’.
This is the workflow:
Frame is selected > Hit Share > Hit Copy Link (Observe 'Share to selection “[Frame name]” appears at the top of the dialog box) > Paste link elsewhere, e.g. Jira > Click link > Link opens the first Page of the Figma file rather than the Frame that was selected.
It appears to be working intermittently, but has been causing havoc in our Jira tickets as the person copying the link to the frame is presuming it will link to the frame they’ve selected. We’ve now got several Jira tickets containing user stories that all link to the first Page of the Figma file and not the frame being described in the user story.
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks

When using the ⌘L shortcut the link copied only points to the frame/section that the selected object is within, not the original selection. This means that the pop up menu option and the shortcut for that menu option will point to two d…  We’ll share any updates over there.
