Content jumps up and down with using of smart animate and AL

True, separate pages. However I also encountered similar issues on multiple components within a single page, in most cases the issues were with components with multiple variants and inside elements with auto layout. Try breaking apart or place complex components outside of autolayout elements, might do the trick.

That’s going to be a problem, because I need the auto layout for the content to be pushed. Essentially, I’m in a very similar position as OP, and it’s frustrating. Not a big deal, because it’s just a prototype and doesn’t have to look perfect, but it’s a shame that there are so many bugs in Figma.

I suppose I’ll try breaking down the components within components that I have and see if anything changes. This is what I’m opening up, and all those checkboxes etc. are components.

Was having same issue (jumping up and down, on same page, with auto layout).

Seems like having a fixed height on the main container fixed it. So try the following:

1. Add auto-layout on the main, outer most frame (let’s call it “main-frame”).
2. Set the main-frame’s height to “Fixed”.
3. Adjust the height of the main-frame to match your prototype device size. I typically use 1440x1092ish. So, 1092 height.
4. Uncheck “clip content” on that main-frame. (Not necessary, but allows you to see what’s below the cut off height.)
5. Check that it’s working as intended.

That fixed the prototype animation issue for me. Unfortunately, the editor view doesn’t look as slick now for the devs or presentations because the content is spilling out of the main-frame container. This can be managed though by having a separate file for interactive prototype that only you’ll see.

Thanks for this. Feels pretty silly if I’m honest, but this helped me fix the issue.

When it comes to things spilling out of the main-frame container: Turning off “clip content” on the main frame and allowing vertical scroll overflow allows for the entire page to be viewed. Just need to ensure that the auto layout / hug frame contained within the main doesn’t also have overflow and you should be good

In short - using auto layout with the main frame seems to be the culprit with my use case

Thanks, Brian

Wow… Tried to recreate the issue and could not until I turned off scroll overflow again. Appears that the extra nesting (in this case anyway) wasn’t necessary as it seemed. I can watch the issue arise and disappear each time I turn vertical overflow for the main page

Conclusion - Main frame can be auto layout w/ hug as long as scroll overflow is turned on

Wow this worked… ty!

Thank you, It’s fixed mine

Thanks Brian! This fixed it🙏

thank you, making the overall page/frame names the same did fix it for me.

very annoying though since having a bunch of frames with the same name also makes it hard to link to the correct one if you’re scrolling through the options of which screens to navigate to for the prototype, and also hurts the file organization. i had changed the names for a reason. 😭
