Nested frame/auto-layout won't scroll inside slot

I’m using a popover component with a slot. One of the items inside the slot is a fixed-height auto-layout container with a list of items. I want this list to overflow:scroll vertical, however, the prototype scroll options are disabled. I tried nesting this in a new frame and the scroll options are disabled for this new frame as well.

I’m trying to avoid breaking the original component and utilize the slot. Is scrolling only preserved for the slot itself or can you embed scrollable items within a slot?

Here’s a video showing more detail:

      Yes exactly the same problem - as soon as I detach, it allows scroll. An issue with the slot component, and given these are used frequently inside modals, this is very frustrating!

        Exactly, let's hope it doesn't take them a year to fix it

            Same here ._.

            This makes prototyping with slots extremely difficult.

              ​@Figma_Product - Not sure if this is the right tag to use, but if this can get fixed before Slots leave Beta, that would be wonderful.

                  I’ve tested this and found it worked as expected. Amazing turnaround on this; thank you, ​@Celyn_L and ​@Figma_Product!

                    Hello @Celyn_L and @Figma_Product, I am experiencing the same issue. Would it be best to submit a ticket? Thanks so much in advance! :)
