"Go to main component" doesn't focus correctly

Hello,

Since a few days, when going to main component in library, it shows me the good page, but focus is not set on the selected component. Is it a bug? something mine?
Thanks in advance!

    @Gayani_S Found another example, and your instructions solved the issue, thank you very much!

    This was happening in the app. Using a browser I’m not normally using for Figma, the behaviour was different, as the Restore Component prompt appeared. Clearing the cache and restarting the app solved the issue, i.e., the Restore Component prompt appeared there too.

    FYI, it can focus on the right main component, but lost the location auto track.

    Hello Ryan,

    In my case, it’s also in desktop app, and as Jennifer_Lyle and Yulin_H said, focus is working, but zoom on component is not. (sorry i wasn’t precise in my original message)

    Video 1: In this case, instance and main component are in different files (library is linked in the instance file) and it fails.

    Video 2: the instance is in the library itself and it works

    Hope it can help. Thanks!

      Same here! Post says it’s solved, but it’s not solved at all. I already submitted the form just a few moments ago, including the screen recording.

      It’s a bug, happened after the update of a couple of weeks back. Figured it would be obvious and figure itself out, but it seems to still be there.

      Same boat, buddy! Hoping they’ll squash that bug real quick. I’m stuck trying to hop over to the main component in another file and can’t swap it out for one in the current file. Fingers crossed for a fix soon!

      Also seeing this issue on Desktop (mac). If ‘Go to main component’ still selects the right layer for you, pressing 2 will focus to the current selection (which is the workaround I’m using for now)
