Question

Auto layout x Smart Animate

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with compatibility between Auto Layout and Smart Animate.

I have two components, accordion lists, with several variants that collapse and expand through Smart Animate. Whenever I apply Auto Layout to the frame with the components, they lose the Smart Animate effect, the page twitches and then the accordion list expands with Instant effect.

This is a video of the issue: 13.04.2022_09.55.55_REC.mp4 - Google Drive

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Gayani_S ,

Thank you for your response!

Apologies as I couldn’t get back to you earlier.

I believe that was a small glitch at that time. Everything works fine now.

I mentioned this in another thread.

@Gayani_S Auto Layout is affecting Smart Animate when hug contents is in use on the main background frame that bounds all the contents. Here’s a video of the difference. I am happy to share the file with you. Could you send me your email so I can add you as an editor to the file?

Hi Figma team,

This issue still exists. I recorded a loom video demonstration for your team to review.

TL;DR
I agree with the above comments. There’s something interacting between a Smart Animation that changes from a fixed height to an auto height that, when used within a frame with auto layout applied, causes the prototype preview to briefly jump to the top of the screen.
