Hover interaction stops when hovering on a nested component of the main component

Hey @Cecilia_Marnero, thank you for reaching out!

Unfortunately you forgot to attach the screen recording. So that I have a bit more context, could you capture a quick video showing the entire app and how/when this behavior happens?

I am not quite sure if you’re running into a limitation. It’s not currently possible to add an on-hover and an on-click interaction to the same element, or nested elements, as the hover blocks further interactions.

This limitation is called out in Prototype interactions and animations:

You’re not able to combine On Click / On Tap with While Hovering, since the action for the first interaction will make the action from the second on that object unreachable once executed.

If possible feel free to share link to the file, and invite support-share@figma.com with “can edit” permission. Note that users with @figma.com emails on your team do not count towards your billing.

Thanks in advance!
