Question

Distribute spacing doesn't work on variants

This morning I have an issue with distribute spacing for both horizontal and vertical, but only in variants, so when I want to distribute variants under one component this option doesn’t work.

On the frame or canvas with other objects, it works normally.

Hey @Mike_K1 – I think it would be best to have someone on our side to look at your set up. I’m not too confident on providing a solid answer on this one.

I’m leaving this open to see if someone from the community will jump in, but you can file a ticket here to get someone to help in your exact instance here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001744374

Hey there, I think I found something that might be broken?

I’m not sure how it used to work before the update, but at least as of right now I also cant distribute objects if they’re variants of a component.

Same here, since the new “Multi-edit” feature exists.

+1 Same issue, I know it had worked before because I could organize components variants using “distribute horizontal/vertical spacing”

Hi all,

Our engineering team confirmed it was a regression and fixed it. Could you reload the tab and try again please?

I could see that it’s fixed but please feel free to let us know if it isn’t.

Thanks again!
