"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.

I think this is because although it is the same library, the parent components are not in the file you are working on (so yeah its a bug).

It seems as though when you are working in the same file where the parent components were created and you click on “Go to main component”, it goes directly to the correct component, however if you are working on a different but the same library of components file it just goes to the correct page where the component is, but not highlighting it!

Are you sure? I have this issue months, and stille doesn’t work at all, for me and for my colleagues.

It still misbehaves. Just encountered this bug a few seconds ago.

Hey @Mathieu11, sorry to hear you’re still experiencing this issue!
Are you able to confirm if this is happening in the desktop app, the browser or both?
Does this happen to a specific file or all you files?

Can you clear out the cache? Also, please try to force-quit and open Figma in a new browser window (or force-quit the Figma Desktop app and restart it.)

Hi @Gayani_S Thanks for the tips! I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue these last few days (I really should have noted which components triggered this). Once I do, I’ll let you know.
