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:

    Hi ​@Maria_Cermeno, thanks for reaching out.

    Yes, I would recommend submitting a bug report so the team can investigate this further.

    You can do that by:
    • Going to the Support Hub
    • Clicking Start a chat
    • Typing “Report a bug”

    Once you've submitted the report, it would also be really helpful if you could share a direct link to the impacted file and invite support-share@figma.com with Can View access. This won't impact your billing and will allow us to reproduce the issue and investigate further with Engineering.

    Thanks so much for taking the time to report it! 🙏
